Anthropic confirmed a confidential S-1 filing with the SEC for a proposed IPO.

The company recently raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation.

Claude AI models are increasingly used for smart contract development and auditing.
The Anthropic IPO race is officially underway, and it’s arriving at a time when artificial intelligence firms are commanding valuations that would’ve seemed absurd just a few years ago. On June 1, Anthropic confirmed it confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, positioning the Claude AI creator for a potential public debut.
AI Giants Rush Toward Public Markets
The filing places Anthropic alongside some of the most closely watched names in technology as OpenAI and SpaceX reportedly move along their own paths toward public markets. For investors, it’s shaping up to be one of the most significant tech IPO waves in recent memory.
Notably, Anthropic’s filing was made under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933. The company stated that the number of shares and offering price have not yet been determined. Therefore, this leaves key details of the proposed offering unknown for now.
Massive Valuation Fuels Market Attention
The timing isn’t random. Anthropic recently completed a $65 billion Series H funding round that valued the company at a staggering $965 billion post-money valuation.
Meanwhile, its annualized revenue run-rate has reportedly surpassed $47 billion, driven by strong enterprise demand for Claude models, particularly for coding and agentic workflow applications. Those numbers help explain why investors are closely watching the Anthropic IPO process.
Claude’s Growing Role Across Web3 Security
Beyond traditional AI use cases, Claude models have become increasingly relevant within blockchain development. Developers use the models to write and audit smart contracts that power decentralized applications and DeFi protocols.
The company has also demonstrated that its latest Claude models can autonomously identify and fix vulnerabilities in blockchain code. As the Anthropic IPO advances, the company’s growing influence across AI, cybersecurity, and Web3 infrastructure is likely to remain firmly in the spotlight.
