Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, announced details of its planned IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.

The Silicon Valley AI firm aims to raise a valuation that could surpass SpaceX’s $1.8 trillion debut, making this a potential historic market entrance.

The company has not yet set the number of shares to be released or the price range, saying those details will be determined closer to the listing.

Industry commentators note that this move follows a wave of cybersecurity concerns involving AI agents, as well as public warnings from current and former staff about the risks of unchecked AI development.

Anthropic’s filing reiterates its commitment to benefit society while urging investors to remain cautious of future harms that could arise from AI tools.

With OpenAI also planning an early‑next‑year debut, the AI sector is entering a new phase of public‑market exposure that could reshape financial valuations of technology firms.
