Investing.com - According to The Information on Thursday, executives at Anthropic have discussed an initial public offering (IPO) as early as the fourth quarter of 2026 for this artificial intelligence startup.

The Information reports that banks competing to underwrite the company’s listing expect Anthropic to raise over $60 billion in the IPO, but the exact figure will only be confirmed before the offering.

This offering could become one of the largest IPOs ever, second only to SpaceX, which is expected to raise up to $75 billion as early as June.

Anthropic’s competitor, OpenAI, is also reportedly seeking to go public this year. Recent reports suggest that this ChatGPT maker is trying to enter the public market before Anthropic.

As concerns about tightening market liquidity continue to rise, companies are rushing to IPO, especially amid stubborn inflation and the market’s weakening expectations of Fed rate cuts this year.

Anthropic and OpenAI need substantial funding to cover the high costs of developing and operating their proprietary AI models. In February, Anthropic completed a $30 billion funding round at a valuation of $380 billion, while OpenAI raised $120 billion at a valuation of $850 billion in early March.

Anthropic has received support from some of Wall Street’s biggest tech companies, including Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN). The startup was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, including CEO Dario Amodei.
