Anthropic's investors bet on it setting an IPO record, with a valuation expected to reach $2 trillion.

Investors predict that the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic will go public in October, with a valuation reaching $2 trillion or even higher. This astonishing valuation will surpass SpaceX, making this AI lab set a record for the largest initial public offering in history. Six investors from the company revealed that with rapidly increasing revenue, Anthropic plans to go public this autumn, with a valuation expected to more than double from its current level. If it achieves this valuation during its IPO, the early investors in this five-year-old company will reap billions of dollars in returns. Investors at Anthropic stated that the market demand for the company's high-end AI models and tools continues to surge, supporting such high valuation expectations. Estimates suggest that based on the revenue accounting method the company adopts, this Claude model development company is projected to have an annualized revenue between $100 billion and $120 billion by the end of 2026, reflecting an increase of over ten times in annual revenue. One investor remarked, "If Anthropic's annual growth rate can reach 800%, even with conservative estimates, its revenue-to-earnings ratio could hit 30 times, corresponding to a total company valuation of $3 trillion."
