Anthropic 

What is the Anthropic AI company?

Anthropic is a private AI research company founded in 2021 by Dario and Daniela Amodei, both former OpenAI staff, headquartered in San Francisco. Anthropic develops the Claude family of large language models, including Claude Opus 4.8, and operates as a public-benefit corporation focused on reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI. Anthropic reached an annualized revenue run rate of about $47B by May 2026, driven largely by its Claude Code coding assistant. Anthropic is privately held and is not listed on any public stock exchange.

Is Anthropic stock publicly traded, and can you buy it?

Anthropic stock is not publicly traded — Anthropic is a private company with no shares listed on any exchange. Secondary platforms such as Forge Global, EquityZen, and Hiive advertise pre-IPO Anthropic shares to accredited investors, but Anthropic enforces strict transfer restrictions — in May 2026 Anthropic named several of these platforms as unauthorized and warned that share transfers via SPVs or tokenized products may be void. Synthetic and tokenized "Anthropic" products on crypto venues are issued by third parties, not by Anthropic, and represent price exposure rather than equity.

When is Anthropic's IPO date?

Anthropic confidentially filed a draft Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC on approximately 1 June 2026, with a potential public listing as soon as fall 2026. Anthropic has not set a share count or price, and a confidential filing does not commit Anthropic to a fixed listing date — IPO timing remains uncertain. Anthropic began IPO preparations in late 2025, retaining law firm Wilson Sonsini to advise on the process. Anthropic's filing follows its Series H round and ranks among the most anticipated AI listings.

What is Anthropic's valuation?

Anthropic was valued at $965B post-money in its Series H round announced on approximately 28 May 2026, making Anthropic the most valuable AI company and the first to surpass OpenAI's $852B valuation. Anthropic's valuation nearly tripled from the $380B mark set in its February 2026 Series G round — a rapid re-rating that narrows the runway for justifying the price at IPO. Anthropic earlier reached $183B in its September 2025 Series F round.

Who are Anthropic's investors?

Anthropic's largest strategic backer is Amazon, which has invested several billion dollars including $5B committed within the May 2026 Series H round, with Google as another major cloud-and-capital partner. Anthropic's Series H was co-led by Sequoia Capital, Altimeter, Dragoneer, and Greenoaks, with strategic infrastructure partners Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. Concentration risk is material: Amazon and Google are simultaneously Anthropic's largest investors and primary compute providers, tying Anthropic's funding and infrastructure to two dominant partners.

Does Anthropic have a stock symbol or crypto token?

Anthropic has no public stock ticker because Anthropic has not gone public — third-party trackers use placeholders such as "ANTHRO" or "ANTH.PVT," which are not official exchange symbols. Anthropic has also issued no official cryptocurrency, coin, or token. Crypto instruments labeled "Anthropic" — including the VNTL:ANTHROPIC perpetual on Hyperliquid and SPV-backed PreStocks tokens on Solana — are created by third parties and track implied valuation, not Anthropic equity or any Anthropic-issued asset.
