Anthropic, PBC submitted a confidential draft Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, formally opening the door to a potential public offering. The filing gives the company the option to list its shares once regulators complete their review. However, no share count, price, or timeline has been disclosed. The offering also remains subject to market conditions.
A near-trillion-dollar company before a single public share
The filing arrives just four days after Anthropic closed a significant funding milestone. The company completed a $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion post-money valuation. Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital led that round. Furthermore, Alphabet and Amazon are among Anthropic’s existing strategic investors. As a result, the company is now within striking distance of a $1 trillion valuation before it has sold a single share to public investors.
Part of a historic IPO window
Anthropic’s move does not stand alone. Instead, it arrives as part of a broader wave of landmark filings. SpaceX filed publicly with the SEC in late May. Additionally, OpenAI is preparing its own confidential IPO filing for the United States in the coming weeks. All three companies could potentially carry valuations exceeding $1 trillion at the time of listing. Together, they represent one of the most concentrated windows of major IPO activity the market has seen in years.
