Anthropic files confidential IPO, racing OpenAI and SpaceX for AI dominance
Anthropic has confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering (IPO), setting up a high-stakes race with OpenAI and SpaceX as Wall Street braces for a wave of AI-driven listings. The company, creator of the Claude chatbot, submitted its paperwork on Monday, 1 June 2026, without disclosing target valuation or offering terms, according to *The Guardian* . The move follows a $65 billion funding round last week that valued Anthropic at $965 billion—surpassing OpenAI’s latest private-market valuation—up from $380 billion in February .
The filing intensifies competition among the three AI giants, all of which are reportedly eyeing public listings this year despite persistent losses. *Deník N* reports that only one of the trio—SpaceX, OpenAI, or Anthropic—currently projects profitability in the near term . Anthropic’s IPO would test investor appetite for AI stocks after a year of mixed performance in the sector, with *Financial Times* framing the event as a "three-way race" .
In a parallel development, Anthropic has granted the European Union access to its advanced *Mythos* AI model, addressing earlier cybersecurity concerns raised by EU regulators. The decision, announced on 1 June, marks a rare concession from a U.S. AI firm to European oversight, potentially smoothing the path for Anthropic’s expansion into the bloc . The company’s dual focus on regulatory compliance and public markets underscores its ambition to challenge OpenAI’s dominance in both enterprise adoption and investor confidence.
Anthropic’s IPO filing arrives as the AI industry faces mounting scrutiny over profitability and governance. While the company’s valuation has nearly tripled in four months, its financials remain undisclosed, leaving analysts to weigh its rapid growth against the sector’s broader cash-burn concerns. With OpenAI and SpaceX also preparing for public debuts, 2026 could redefine the AI investment landscape—if Wall Street’s enthusiasm holds.
