2. Nov 14, 2026At Anthropic's $70 to $78 IPO target price, each of the seven co-founders' roughly 1.4% stakes would reach $17 billion to $18 billion, with each expected to sell about $250 million of shares and pledge 80% to philanthropy.
3. Nov 13, 2026Anthropic readied its $1.4 trillion IPO planning to spend about $900 billion on its AI buildout, as Goldman Sachs projected the company could generate $685 billion in revenue by 2030.
4. Nov 13, 2026Goldman Sachs analysts privately forecast Anthropic will burn through more than $65 billion in 2027 and $41 billion in 2028, while its prospectus projects $900 billion in computing bills over two decades; Dario Amodei introduced the company to investors in an IPO marketing video.
5. Nov 13, 2026Anthropic's SEC filing set an expected price range of $70.00 to $78.00 and first trading on November 19, 2026; it reported half-year 2026 revenue of $16,286 million and a net loss of $80.7 billion.

9. Nov 10, 2026Hyperliquid's Anthropic pre-IPO perpetual contract implied a stock price of $98 and a market cap of roughly $1.7 trillion, more than 30% above the announced range, while perps tracking OpenAI's market cap dropped 7%.
10. Nov 10, 2026Late on November 9, 2026, Anthropic emailed bankers an IPO filing showing about 867 million shares at $70 to $80, then called the pricing details inaccurate within roughly 80 minutes without saying what was wrong.

12. Nov 10, 2026Anthropic set its $70 to $78 price range, valuing it at $1.26 trillion to $1.41 trillion, below the $2 trillion bankers floated in summer but above its $900 billion private valuation, as its roadshow began.

14. Nov 7, 2026Investors said Anthropic's roughly $1.5 trillion IPO valuation might need to come down, possibly closer to $1 trillion, or the listing be postponed, as the deal targeted the week of November 16, 2026.
15. Nov 5, 2026Three major investors said Anthropic's IPO likely could not proceed at the expected $1.5 trillion valuation after the AI-related market selloff; Anthropic had $146.6 billion in cash as of September 30.
16. Nov 3, 2026Anthropic's S-1 showed first-half 2026 revenue of $16,286 million, a $693 million operating loss, and a Founder LLC share giving the seven co-founders 50.1% of voting power.
17. Nov 3, 2026Ilan Strauss and Tim O'Reilly urged the SEC to press Anthropic to disclose its compute contracts and payments with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft before the IPO.
