Anthropic has confidentially filed a draft Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, giving the artificial intelligence company the option to go public after the SEC completes its review.

Anthropic said it has not yet determined how many shares it would sell or what price it would seek in an offering.

The disclosure was issued under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933. The company said any offering activity would take place only through the registration process required under federal securities law.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has quickly established itself as a key player in artificial intelligence, building tools that are reshaping how businesses approach areas like coding and cybersecurity.

Don’t Miss:

Last month, Anthropic overtook OpenAI as the world’s most valuable startup after raising $65 billion in Series H, valuing the company at $965 billion. Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital led the funding round.

If Anthropic goes public at a $1 trillion valuation, it would instantly rank among the most valuable companies globally and could become the second- or third-largest IPO in history, trailing SpaceX and Saudi Aramco.

Anthropic’s CEO, Dario Amodei’s net worth has already hit $7 billion, according to Forbes. The article also noted that the company’s seven cofounders are now worth a combined $116 billion.

The firm’s latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.8, aims to deliver improved performance and new controls for customers and developers.

Anthropic is in the midst of working on Project Glasswing, an AI-assisted security testing effort that more than 50 organizations are collaborating on. Anthropic released an update regarding the project last week.

The company also recently announced a partnership with Elon Musk’s SpaceXAI to use all of the compute capacity at SpaceX’s data center Colossus 1 in Memphis, Tennessee. The partnership will give Anthropic more than 300 megawatts of additional capacity (over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs) to deploy within the month and will increase limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

Last month, Anthropic hired former Amazon Web Services (AWS) threat intelligence specialist Dlshad Othman to join its safeguards group. Othman will focus on areas spanning influence operations, surveillance, and cyber threat investigations.

The AI company also brought on the co-founder of OpenAI and former director of artificial intelligence and Autopilot Vison at Tesla, Andrej Karpathy. He is expected to create a new team focused on using Claude itself to speed up research on pre-training, an Anthropic spokesperson told TechCrunch.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That’s why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts. By spreading exposure across multiple asset classes, it becomes easier to manage risk, capture steady returns, and create long-term wealth that isn’t tied to the fortunes of just one company or industry.

Arrived

Backed by Jeff Bezos, Arrived Homes makes real estate investing accessible with a low barrier to entry. Investors can buy fractional shares of single-family rentals and vacation homes starting with as little as $100. This allows everyday investors to diversify into real estate, collect rental income, and build long-term wealth without needing to manage properties directly.

Vinovest

Fine wine and rare whiskey have historically moved independently of the stock market, making them a compelling alternative asset. Vinovest manages authenticated, insured portfolios of investment-grade wine and whiskey starting at $5,000 — sourcing, storage, and insurance all handled for you.

FarmTogether

Farmland has historically held its value through market volatility and delivered returns uncorrelated to stocks and bonds. For accredited investors, FarmTogether offers direct access to high-quality U.S. farmland starting at $15,000 — fully managed, with no landlord headaches.

EquityMultiple

For accredited investors looking beyond stocks and bonds, EquityMultiple provides access to vetted commercial real estate deals starting at $5,000, with only ~5% of opportunities passing their due diligence process.

Bitcoin IRA 

For investors who want crypto exposure with tax advantages, Bitcoin IRA allows you to trade 60+ cryptocurrencies inside a self-directed IRA or roll over an existing 401(k), with 24/7 trading and institutional cold storage. Minimum $3,000 to start. Crypto investing involves substantial risk of loss and early withdrawal penalties apply.
