What happened
On 26 October 2026, The Verge reported that Anthropic has filed an S-1 prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, aiming to complete an IPO ahead of OpenAI.

Operating loss for the period was $693 million, narrower than $2.1 billion in the first half of 2025, but net loss reached $80.7 billion, mainly due to non-cash accounting adjustments related to convertible debt.
