Anthropic Files For Nasdaq IPO Despite $80.7 Billion First-Half Loss

Anthropic has filed to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT, setting the stage for a major public offering as investors question whether the artificial intelligence boom can deliver sustainable profits.

The developer of Claude AI has expanded rapidly, particularly through its Claude Code programming tool. Its business also depends on major technology companies for computing capacity and customer access.

Microsoft has committed billions to Anthropic and has agreements requiring the AI firm to spend at least $44.9 billion on Microsoft services. Analysts say enterprise profitability will be crucial to justifying Anthropic’s reported valuation expectations amid mounting concerns about AI infrastructure costs.
