Anthropic revenue reportedly jumps to more than $11.5 billion in second quarter; IPO as soon as this fall could make it one of first major private AI companies to tap public markets

Anthropic's revenue surged more than 14-fold in the second quarter, reaching over $11.5 billion, up from $787 million a year earlier, as reported by Bloomberg. This remarkable growth highlights the company's rapid ascent in the AI sector, particularly with its Claude chatbot.¹

The company also reported positive adjusted operating income for the quarter, indicating strong financial health as it prepares for a potential initial public offering (IPO) this fall. This IPO could position Anthropic as one of the first major private AI firms to enter public markets, a significant milestone in the tech industry.

In May, Anthropic announced that its run-rate revenue had crossed $47 billion, a substantial increase from approximately $10 billion in total revenue for 2025. The figures are preliminary and may change, but they underscore the company's rapid growth trajectory.

Sources indicated that Anthropic's early meetings regarding the IPO have been high-level, lacking specific financial discussions or valuations, as reported by CNBC's David Faber. The anticipation surrounding Anthropic's IPO reflects the increasing interest in AI companies and their potential to reshape the market landscape.
