According to Reuters (via an FT report), Anthropic is laying groundwork for an IPO as early as 2026.

They’re also reportedly in talks for a private funding round that could value the company north of $300B — a huge step up from their most recently disclosed ~$183B post-money valuation. If Anthropic were public today and you simply treated that ~$183B as its market cap, here’s the fun part: 📈 It would land around the low-90s globally by market cap — roughly #91 — just ahead of Airbus (≈$181B). For context, that neighborhood looks like: Blackstone ≈ $186B HDFC Bank ≈ $180B (Anthropic) ≈ $183B Airbus ≈ $178B Source : Reuters, FT
