Scale
SpaceX's offering raised $85.7B including the over-allotment, the largest IPO on record. Anthropic's reported raise: Up to $100B. Whether it sets a new record will be known only at pricing; until then, that remains a possibility, not a fact.

Why This Offering Matters
01
02
03
The public market's first direct test of the AI trade — at a potential scale no exchange has yet handled.
The Window
OpenAI has confirmed its own confidential submission; its listing status, as last reported: Postponed. If Anthropic lists first, public investors would have their first pure-play equity in a frontier-model developer.
The Capital Question
Reports from the draft prospectus describe a net loss of $80.7B (H1 2026), most of it non-cash charges tied to financing instruments, and ~$450B of cloud commitments over the next decade. How those obligations are funded is central to valuing the offering.
Path to Listing
From confidential filing to first trade.
Reported dates are drawn from media reports and may change. No countdown is shown because no date has been confirmed by Anthropic or in a public filing.
