Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI assistant, has filed to become a public company. On October 26 it filed a document called an S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. An S-1 is the paperwork a company must file before it can sell shares to the public.

Anthropic plans to list its shares on the Nasdaq stock market under the symbol ANT. It has not yet decided how many shares it will sell or at what price.

The filing shows how fast the company has grown. Revenue for the first six months of 2026 was $16,286 million. For the same six months of 2025, it was $1,163 million.

The filing also shows a net loss of $80,748 million for the first half of 2026. Most of it comes from one accounting line: a $72,388 million change in the fair value of convertible notes, derivative liabilities and SAFEs. These are investment deals that can turn into shares later, and their value on paper moves with the company's value. The operating loss, from running the business itself, was $693 million.

The filing also says who will control the company. Anthropic's seven co-founders will be the only members of a company called the Founder LLC. It will hold a special Class F stock with 50.1% of the votes on matters shareholders vote on.

What this does not mean. It does not mean anyone can buy Anthropic shares yet. The number of shares and the price have not been decided.
