The company aims to have a valuation of up to $2 trillion, with plans to raise approximately $100 billion. If successful, this will surpass SpaceX’s record valuation of $1.77 trillion set in 2026. As of the latest data, Anthropic’s annual revenue exceeded $65 billion, with revenue of over $11.5 billion in the second quarter, and it has achieved adjusted operating profits, making it the first profitable company in the field of advanced AI. Before officially confirming the underwriters, the company has completed an arrangement to expand its revolving credit facility to $15 billion, led by Morgan Stanley and participated in by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.
