The Anthropic IPO is being led by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, with JPMorgan also participating.

According to monitoring by Beating, Anthropic has appointed Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to lead its IPO, with JPMorgan also participating in the IPO.

On June 2, artificial intelligence giant Anthropic announced it has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement for its initial public offering (IPO) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This listing application closely follows Anthropic’s completion of its Series H financing round at the end of May 2026. In this massive $65 billion financing, Anthropic’s post-investment valuation reached an astonishing $965 billion, making it the world’s highest-valued private AI startup, surpassing its competitor OpenAI. The round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital, and attracted top strategic and financial investors from around the world, including Amazon, Google, and Singapore’s Temasek.

As Anthropic moves towards the public market, early investors’ returns are also coming to light. According to Bloomberg, the value of Salesforce’s stake in Anthropic has reached around $5 billion. Salesforce began investing in early 2023 with a total investment of about $50 million, and the disclosure of this stake’s value directly sent Salesforce shares up 10% in a single day. Meanwhile, at the time of Anthropic’s confidential S-1 submission, its annualized revenue run rate officially exceeded $4.7 billion, showcasing its strong commercial monetization capability.
