Key points
- The offering is 825,000,000 Class A shares: 801,351,354 from Anthropic and 23,648,646 from existing stockholders, at an expected $70.00 to $78.00 a share.
- Anthropic estimates net proceeds of approximately $84.6 billion from the offering and a concurrent Class N private placement, at an assumed $74.00 a share, the midpoint of the range.
- The registration statement has been filed with the SEC but is not yet effective, and Anthropic has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as ANT.
What happened
Anthropic is offering 825,000,000 shares of Class A common stock at an expected price of $70.00 to $78.00 a share, and has started the roadshow for the sale. Anthropic announced it on 10 November, and the amended Form S-1 it filed with the SEC the same day carries the same terms.
Of the shares, Anthropic is selling 801,351,354 and certain existing stockholders are selling 23,648,646. Anthropic says it will receive no proceeds from the stockholders' shares, and expects to give the underwriters a 30-day option on up to 123,750,000 more.
The company has applied to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market as ANT. The roadshow announcement says copies of the preliminary prospectus may be obtained from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC or Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. It also says the registration statement has been filed but is not yet effective.
In the S-1/A, Anthropic estimates net proceeds of about $84.6 billion from the IPO and a concurrent private placement of Class N stock, at an assumed $74.00 a share, the midpoint of the range.
The S-1/A says Anthropic derives substantially all of its revenue from a limited number of products and applications, primarily its Claude models and the applications built on the Claude Platform.
The filing also gives a business update. Anthropic says its run-rate revenue was about $81 billion on 31 October 2026, up $10 billion from 30 September. It says customers spending $100,000 or more over the trailing twelve months grew from more than 950 to more than 11,900 between 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2026.
Run-rate revenue annualizes usage fees for a trailing 28-day period and subscription fees for a single month. The S-1/A says it is not a substitute for GAAP revenue and not a forecast.

Fact 10 of 15 · from Anthropic, PBC (SEC EDGAR), 10 Nov 2026
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock in this offering and shares of our Class N common stock in the concurrent private placement will be approximately $84.6 billion , based upon the assumed initial public offering price of $74.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus
Fact 13 of 15 · from Anthropic, PBC (SEC EDGAR), 10 Nov 2026
Because Run-Rate Revenue annualizes our consumption-based fees for a trailing 28-day period and our subscription-based fees for a single month, it assumes that activity during those measurement periods has continued at the same rate for a full year.
What it means for you
Our viewThe revenue statement in the amended S-1 matters beyond the share price: Anthropic says it derives substantially all of its revenue from a limited number of products, primarily its Claude models and the applications on the Claude Platform.
For a business that builds on Claude, that is context for how Anthropic describes its own dependence on those products. The price is described as expected, and the registration is not yet effective, so the terms are not final.
If Claude is part of your stack, read the risk factors in the amended S-1 before your next supplier review.
