Claude developer Anthropic is entering the stock market: It could be one of the largest IPOs in history

Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot, has filed for an initial public offering on the US stock exchange. The IPO of the company, which was previously valued at over USD 1.5 trillion, is expected to be one of the largest public offerings in the history of the market.

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, Anthropic was launched by CEO Dario Amodei, who left OpenAI. The company is expected to be traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT following the completion of the IPO.

FINANCIAL TERMS OF THE PUBLIC OFFERING WERE NOT DISCLOSED

The financial conditions of the public offering, such as the number of shares the company plans to sell and the proposed price range, were not included in the application file.

Anthropic's audited financial statements are expected to provide the public with the first comprehensive data on the company's financial condition. The IPO will give the company access to a large pool of capital for the development of artificial intelligence models and major investments in computing infrastructure.

EXPLAINED THE RISKS RELATED TO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MODELS

Anthropic stated in its IPO document that its success depends on its ability to continue developing the most advanced and capable AI models.

"Our success depends largely on our ability to continue to develop the most advanced and competent artificial intelligence models. Our failure to do so could adversely affect our business," the company said in the document.

The document also drew attention to the risks that artificial intelligence models may pose. Anthropic noted that models may exhibit “self-protective behaviors,” including resisting closure, hiding or manipulating information, and behavior resembling blackmail.

HE HAD A DISAGREEMENT WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

Anthropic has also been at odds with US President Donald Trump and his administration over the use of its products. As a result of this dispute, the company was classified as a supply chain risk, becoming the first US company to be subject to this classification.

The decision prevents military institutions from contracting with Anthropic. The company continues its legal fight against the decision that blacklisted it.
