Nearly a month after SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX) held its highly anticipated and record-breaking IPO, investors hoping for a continuation of the AI-driven market rally are looking forward to the next big public debut of 2026: Anthropic, the maker of the Claude family of AI models.
On June 1, Anthropic confidentially filed its Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), setting the stage for a potential IPO later this year. The decision was made in the wake of the company’s latest funding round, which concluded in May and resulted in a valuation of $965 billion.
