# Anthropic reportedly targets a record-scale IPO

_Published Friday, August 21, 2026 at 7:06 PM EDT · AI, Capital · Developing · Tier 1 — Major_

Bloomberg reports that Anthropic is aiming for an initial public offering large enough to match or exceed SpaceX's record debut, and that it could file publicly by the end of August. The report says the Claude maker raised $65 billion in May at a $965 billion valuation. The prospective filing remains source-based reporting, not a public company announcement.
