Anthropic is preparing what could become the largest initial public offering ever attempted, with the AI company discussing a potential IPO of up to $100 billion at a valuation around $2 trillion. Nvidia is now in talks to participate as an anchor investor with an investment of as much as $10 billion, according to Reuters.

If completed at that scale, Anthropic’s offering would surpass the record-setting SpaceX listing earlier this year and turn the Claude developer into one of the most valuable public companies in the world almost immediately. Anthropic confidentially filed IPO paperwork with the SEC in June and is expected to move toward a public filing and investor roadshow in the coming weeks, potentially targeting a listing before the U.S. midterm elections in November.

Nvidia’s possible involvement is especially significant. Anthropic is already one of Nvidia’s major customers, relying heavily on its GPUs to train and run Claude. An investment of up to $10 billion would deepen that relationship and could give the IPO a powerful vote of confidence from the company at the center of the global AI infrastructure boom.

The relationship also illustrates the increasingly interconnected nature of the AI economy. Anthropic buys enormous amounts of computing capacity from companies such as Amazon, Google and Nvidia, while those same firms invest directly in AI laboratories whose growth drives demand for their chips and cloud infrastructure. Anthropic has already committed to major long-term computing agreements, including roughly $100 billion in infrastructure spending with Amazon Web Services.

Anthropic’s rapid financial growth is another reason investors are paying attention. Its annualized revenue run rate recently surpassed $65 billion, up sharply from earlier in the year, while the company has also begun moving toward profitability. That explosive growth has helped push its private valuation from around $965 billion in May toward the roughly $2 trillion level now being discussed for an IPO.

But the valuation would also be extraordinary by almost any conventional measure. At $2 trillion, Anthropic would be entering the public market with a valuation comparable to some of the largest technology companies in history, despite remaining a relatively young company operating in one of the most capital-intensive industries in the world.

That capital intensity is central to the IPO story. Training increasingly powerful AI models requires enormous expenditure on chips, data centers, electricity and networking infrastructure. Anthropic and OpenAI are both reportedly working with banks to secure investment-grade credit ratings after going public, which would give them cheaper access to the enormous corporate bond market and help finance future infrastructure spending.

The timing is also favorable. The U.S. IPO market has experienced a major resurgence in 2026, with companies raising a record amount of capital and investor demand particularly strong for businesses exposed to artificial intelligence, aerospace and advanced technology. Anthropic is now positioning itself as one of the centerpiece listings of that boom.

There are still risks. Anthropic faces intense competition from OpenAI, Google and increasingly capable lower-cost models, while the cost of developing frontier AI continues to rise. Its newest models have also faced questions over whether businesses are willing to pay premium prices when cheaper alternatives can perform many of the same tasks.

But the potential IPO says something larger about how quickly the AI industry has evolved.

Only a few years ago, Anthropic was a private AI laboratory best known as one of OpenAI’s emerging rivals. It is now discussing a public offering that could raise more money than any IPO in history, backed potentially by the world’s most important chipmaker.

If it succeeds, Anthropic’s listing would not simply be another technology IPO. It would be one of the clearest signs yet that artificial intelligence has become one of the largest capital markets stories in the world.
