Anthropic eyes IPO with a $30 trillion AI market pitch

Anthropic is reportedly preparing an IPO as soon as October, cherry-picking a potential AI market opportunity north of $30 trillion per a Wall Street Journal report; OpenAI could be next in line.

Investors are likely to be patient on near-term profitability for these AI leaders given the scale of the opportunity, even as execution risk remains.

Anthropic's $2T IPO Could Create Millionaires—But What If Stock Falls to Zero?

Anthropic is aiming for a $2 trillion IPO that could make its 2,500+ staff millionaires, but company leaders worry about how huge equity incentives might affect loyalty and mission. With intense competition for AI talent, Anthropic is offering high base salaries and has hundreds of open roles, while it reportedly asks culture-interview candidates how they’d react if the company abandoned its AI ambitions and the stock dropped to zero.

Anthropic Bets on a $30 Trillion AI Market Bigger Than the U.S. GDP

Broadcom's AI Debt Backstops Push Credit Risk Higher

Bloomberg reports Broadcom's credit risk is rising as it backstops more than $60 billion in AI-chip financing, including guarantees for Anthropic.

OpenAI aims for IPO by 2027, with potential earlier debut if growth continues

OpenAI CFO Sara Friar told staff that the company will go public in 2027, with a possible earlier IPO if business inflects; the move follows confidential IPO filings with the SEC in June. Anthropic is also confidentially filed, and Friar said there’s no need to worry about rivals’ timing as both firms are in their own race. OpenAI highlighted revenue momentum, reporting a Q2 revenue of $6.7 billion and an annualized run rate above $40 billion, with enterprise revenue up about 50% quarter-to-date and coding products at 20 million weekly active users; the company also noted a robust fundraising stance after reportedly raising $122 billion in March. Anthropic reported an annualized run rate of $65 billion and roughly $11.5 billion in Q2 revenue, underscoring intense competition ahead of any public debuts.
