💰 Anthropic IPO Watch: Eyes a 2026 Public Debut

Anthropic logo featured in NewBits Digest article on Anthropic IPO, highlighting the company’s plans for a 2026 public debut.

Anthropic is reportedly positioning itself to go public as early as 2026, according to the Financial Times. The Claude maker has hired the same law firm behind Google’s and LinkedIn’s IPOs as investors push for a listing before OpenAI. The Anthropic IPO is quickly becoming one of the most closely watched moves in the AI race.


📌 Anthropic IPO: The Details


🏛️ Elite Legal Team Secured


Anthropic has tapped Wilson Sonsini, the powerhouse firm behind Google’s and LinkedIn’s IPOs, to begin early listing groundwork.


📈 Executive Expertise In-House


CFO Krishna Rao, who helped take Airbnb public in 2020, is leading efforts and coordinating an “internal checklist” to prepare the company for an IPO.


💵 Massive Private Funding Push


Anthropic is seeking new capital at a valuation above $300B, with Microsoft and Nvidia reportedly considering up to $15B combined in additional investment, though this specific figure remains unconfirmed.


🧠 OpenAI Also Preparing to Go Public


OpenAI is in its own early IPO process — potentially at a $1T valuation, which would place it among the largest IPOs in tech history.


🌍 Why the Anthropic IPO Matters


Anthropic and OpenAI are now racing toward IPOs that could reshape the global tech landscape. With investors eager to see which company reaches the public markets first, the outcome will test whether today’s AI valuations represent a durable foundation or a market peak. In a moment filled with talk of an “AI bubble,” revenue stability, scale, and long-term strategy will determine who becomes the next generation’s defining tech giant.
