Anthropic submitted a Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, taking a formal step toward a public listing under the ticker ANT1,2.

TechCrunch said the company recorded $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, compared with $1.2 billion in the same period a year earlier1.

The filing showed an operating loss of $693 million for that period, narrower than $2.1 billion in the first half of 2025, TechCrunch reported1. Net loss was $80.7 billion, which TechCrunch said was largely driven by noncash accounting adjustments tied to convertible debt1. The company said it may not achieve or sustain profitability, according to TechCrunch1.

As of the end of September, Anthropic had more than 11,900 customers spending $100,000 or more a year, 1,900 spending $1 million or more, and about 250 spending $10 million or more, TechCrunch reported from the filing1.

Seven co-founders — Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish and Christopher Olah — would form a Founder LLC controlling 50.1 percent of voting power under the structure described in the filing, TechCrunch said1. Anthropic’s Long-Term Benefit Trust would have authority to appoint most of the board1.

TechCrunch said Anthropic has not disclosed how much it hopes to raise or a proposed share price1. Engadget, citing Anthropic’s website, likewise said the number of shares and prices have not been determined2.

Engadget said the company had previously filed a draft S-1 in June2. Engadget also said the offering could value Anthropic at around $2 trillion when the stock is expected to debut in mid-November; that valuation and timing were not in TechCrunch’s account of the filing2.

The SEC filing is posted on the commission’s EDGAR system1,2.
