Anthropic backers tell the FT they expect a $2T IPO in October — the largest ever
Six Anthropic backers told the Financial Times they expect an October listing near $2 trillion, up from the $965 billion valuation set in May, alongside a projected $100 billion to $120 billion annualized revenue run rate by the end of 2026. It is investor expectation, not company guidance — the offering is still under discussion and no valuation target has been fixed internally. The figure marks how far private holders have repriced frontier AI, ahead of any filing that would test it against public-market demand.
