Some existing investors believe Anthropic could be valued at more than $2 trillion if it goes public as early as October this year. Six investors interviewed said strong demand for Claude and rapid revenue growth could lift the company’s valuation to more than double its $965 billion level from May. Anthropic disclosed in May that its annualized revenue had already exceeded $47 billion, and some investors now expect that figure to reach $100 billion to $120 billion by year-end. One investor, using a revenue multiple of about 30 times, said the company’s valuation could climb as high as $3 trillion. Those figures, however, were described as investor projections rather than company guidance. Several investors also said Anthropic management has not yet set a target valuation for an IPO. They pointed to several risks that could affect the outlook, including competition from low-cost AI models in China, the company’s relationship with the U.S. government, and efforts by enterprises to rein in AI spending.

ChainCatcher reported that some existing investors expect Anthropic to be valued at more than $2 trillion if it goes public as early as October this year.

Six investors interviewed said demand for Claude and the company’s fast revenue growth could push Anthropic’s valuation to more than double its $965 billion level from May.

Anthropic disclosed in May that its annualized revenue had exceeded $47 billion. Some investors now expect that figure to reach between $100 billion and $120 billion by the end of this year.

One investor, applying a revenue multiple of about 30x, said Anthropic’s valuation could rise as high as $3 trillion. The report noted that all of those figures are investor estimates.

Several investors also said Anthropic management has not yet set a target valuation for an IPO. Low-cost AI model competition from China, Anthropic’s relationship with the U.S. government, and corporate efforts to control AI spending were still seen as potential risks.
