Anthropic readies $64B IPO as capstone of a record year for equity deals
Crypto Briefing puts the AI developer's offering at $64 billion; Bloomberg calls it the largest IPO ever and the cap on a year of megadeals.
Key takeaways
- Anthropic is preparing an IPO that Crypto Briefing values at $64 billion, which it calls a record.
- Bloomberg Markets describes the listing as the largest initial public offering of all time.
- Bloomberg places the deal at the end of a year with about six other jumbo equity deals.
- Crypto Briefing says the offering signals investor confidence in AI despite Anthropic's current losses.
- Neither report gives a listing date, share price range or the amount Anthropic expects to raise.
Anthropic prepares a $64B listing
Anthropic is preparing an initial public offering valued at $64 billion, according to Crypto Briefing, a figure it describes as a record for such a listing. The company is an AI developer, and the offering would put it on public markets while it is still reporting financial losses.
Bloomberg Markets frames the deal differently: as the largest IPO ever and the closing act of a year of unusually large equity transactions. It says the offering joins about half a dozen other jumbo equity deals in 2026, all far bigger than anything seen in the past decade.
Two accounts of the same deal
The two reports agree on the scale of the year and on Anthropic's central role in it, but they give different emphasis. Crypto Briefing puts the $64 billion figure in its headline and reads the listing as a sign of investor confidence in AI, despite the company's current losses. Bloomberg treats the IPO as the capstone of a broader run of megadeals rather than as a verdict on AI.
Neither report gives a date for the listing, a price range for the shares, or the amount Anthropic expects to raise. Neither states how the $64 billion figure was calculated, and Bloomberg does not repeat it.
What is not yet known
Anthropic has not been quoted in either report on the timing or the terms of the offering. The company's losses are mentioned by Crypto Briefing but not quantified, and no filing details are given.
The year's other large equity deals are referred to by Bloomberg only in aggregate. The identity of those issuers, and how the Anthropic offering compares with them in money raised rather than in valuation, remains unstated in the material available.
