AI startup Anthropic is reportedly preparing for a massive initial public offering that could rival or surpass the record-breaking debut of SpaceX.

Major financial institutions like Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are reportedly involved as the firm aims to file public documents as early as late August 2026. While the startup has seen explosive revenue growth, it continues to navigate high operational costs and substantial losses typical of the capital-intensive artificial intelligence sector. This potential listing serves as a major indicator of investor appetite for AI technologies amidst a record-breaking year for global markets. Despite the hype, analysts remain curious about the long-term sustainability of such high valuations as competition from tech giants like Google intensifies.
