Anthropic files for IPO, plans to list under ticker ANT
Anthropic filed for an initial public offering on Monday, seeking to list under the ticker "ANT." The company reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, up from $1.2 billion in the same period of 2025, but recorded a net loss of $80.7 billion, largely driven by noncash accounting adjustments related to convertible debt. As of September, Anthropic had over 11,900 enterprise customers spending at least $100,000 annually. The filing also revealed a governance structure in which the seven co-founders will maintain control through a "Founder LLC" holding 50.1% of voting power, while a Long-Term Benefit Trust will appoint most board members.
Anthropic's IPO filing provides a rare look at the financials and governance of a leading AI startup preparing to go public, highlighting its massive scale, steep losses, and the unique control structure designed to protect its AI safety mission.
