How much revenue does Anthropic generate?
Anthropic's annualized revenue run-rate crossed roughly $47B in May 2026, up from about $9B at the end of 2025, growth driven largely by Claude Code and enterprise adoption.
When is the Anthropic IPO?
No date has been set. A confidential S-1 was filed June 1, 2026. An IPO could follow SEC review if market conditions allow. The public S-1 will be the next major milestone.
