Anthropic files IPO prospectus at over $1.5tn valuation
What happened
In October 2026, after weeks of speculation, Anthropic filed a 335-page IPO prospectus, about 100 pages of which focus on risk disclosure. Its valuation is reported at more than $1.5tn. MIT Technology Review's report cites examples including co-founder Jack Clark declaring at the IMF meeting in Bangkok that "the singularity has already begun" and Chris Olah discussing model internals at the Vatican, noting that Anthropic has long shaped its image through science-fiction-style narratives while also being a for-profit company valued at over $1.5tn. The story currently rests on the prospectus filing and outside discussion of the gap between its narrative and its commercial identity.
