Anthropic's IPO filing: clients paying $1M+ a year nearly doubled since April

what happened

Anthropic has released its public IPO filing, which shows more than 1,900 customers paid the Claude developer at least $1 million over the past twelve months, close to double the April figure, Stocktwits reported.

The company is reportedly aiming for a November listing, according to The Wall Street Journal, though the schedule may shift. The newspaper says the share sale could bring in $100 billion or more at a valuation between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion. The filing itself leaves out the target valuation and share count, which will come in an amended document after investor feedback. Shares are planned to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.

First-half 2026 revenue reached $16.3 billion, versus $1.16 billion a year earlier, while compute and infrastructure costs grew 300% in the second quarter. The $80.7 billion net loss was driven largely by a $72.4 billion accounting charge tied to convertible notes. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will manage the offering.

why it matters

A deal of this size could test investor appetite for expensive tech names and shift valuations across comparable AI stocks. The proposed structure, with a founders' class holding 50.1% of votes, limits public shareholders' say over the board.
