Anthropic The prospectus could be made public as early as Monday

Beating AI breaking news,Anthropic could make it public as early as October 26 the IPO prospectus, with plans to list in mid-month.November The company had secretly filed documents with the U.S.June as early as this year SEC Earlier, the market had at one point discussed 2000000000000 USD valuation, but as AI related stocks came under pressure, some investors have recently lowered expectations to approximately 1500000000000 USD Although the prospectus has not yet been officially made public, Reuters and The Wall Street Journal have already obtained drafts. In the first half of this year,Anthropic revenue reached 16300000000 USD, compared with only 1100000000 USD in the same period last year. Net losses during the period reached as much as 80700000000 USD of which approximately 72000000000 USD came from valuation adjustments to convertible bonds and other financing instruments, rather than from actual cash burned.

Growth has also begun to slow.Anthropic revenue in the third quarter reached 16800000000 USD, representing sequential growth of approximately 45%, while the increase in the previous quarter exceeded 140%. The company said it achieved profitability in the third quarter on an adjusted basis. However, its commitments to future infrastructure, including cloud computing, chips, and data centers, have already exceeded 600000000000 USD with these expenditures to be incurred over multiple years.

Another issue is its dependence on technology giants. 2025 year,Anthropic had 47%of its revenue sold through Amazon's and Google's cloud platforms. These two companies are also its investors and computing-power suppliers.

Control is likewise unusual.Anthropic plans for seven co-founders to jointly control 50.1%of the voting rights through a special equity structure. A long-term public-benefit trust made up of non-shareholders can still appoint and remove a majority of the board.

The formal prospectus to be made public will need to provide further details on the true revenue contribution of the two major customers, the specific costs under computing-power contracts, and whether existing shareholders can sell shares first at the time of listing.
