Anthropic disclosed that it has confidentially submitted a draft initial public offering (IPO) prospectus to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company stated that it will have the option to proceed with the listing after regulatory review is completed, but whether or not it will actually launch the offering still depends on factors such as market conditions.

Confidentiality declaration has been initiated.

The company announced this development on Monday. Following standard US IPO procedures, companies can initially submit confidential documents for review and communication with regulatory agencies before public disclosure.

The information disclosed so far only confirms the application process and has not yet involved the issuance size, valuation range, or specific listing time.

Release date has not yet been determined.

In its statement, Anthropic said the filing gives the company the option to go public once the SEC completes its review, but the proposed IPO will depend on market conditions and other factors.

This means that submitting the draft does not mean that the issuance arrangements have been finalized, and the subsequent pace still depends on regulatory feedback and the capital market window.

AI companies accelerate their push for capital markets

With Anthropic disclosing its IPO application progress, this AI company is ahead of OpenAI in terms of IPO preparations. The report mentions that OpenAI is also secretly preparing to submit its own documents.

According to other reports, SpaceX, owned by Elon Musk, has officially submitted its prospectus and plans to launch its roadshow this week and list next week. The successive IPOs of leading AI and technology companies reflect the growing willingness of the public market to absorb such assets.
