Anthropic Investors Target Record-Setting IPO Valuation

Investors backing Anthropic reportedly aim for a $2 trillion valuation for its October IPO, citing projections of $100–$120 billion in revenue by end of 2026, with some even suggesting $3 trillion; Anthropic has not set a final figure. The lofty target would edge into record territory like SpaceX’s past highs, but regulators are scrutinizing frontier models, customers complain about guardrails, and high AI-infrastructure costs raise concerns about inflation and project timelines.
