Suryaa Now International Desk: Surya Global Tech & Financial Bureau, New York: Leading artificial intelligence research firm 'Anthropic' takes major step towards public issue.... Surya Global Tech & Financial Bureau, New York: Leading artificial intelligence research firm 'Anthropic' has taken a major step towards going public. According to a preliminary prospectus filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, is poised to become the company's largest shareholder as it has the opportunity to buy shares worth nearly $10 billion in the IPO market process. Another tech giant, Amazon, has already invested $13 billion in Anthropic and has become a key backer. 14-fold huge jump in revenue – accounting loss: According to the financial reports released by Anthropic, the company's revenue for the first half of 2026 rose 14-fold to USD 16.29 billion (Rs 1.38 lakh crore).
At the same time last year, revenue was just $1.16 billion. However, it clarified that an accounting loss (paper loss) of $80.7 billion was recorded on paper due to the increase in the value of convertible notes and safes (SAFEs) allotted to early investors as the company's valuation rose sharply. In terms of business management, it said that it has earned an operating profit (operating profit) of 974 million dollars in the second quarter. Cloud partnerships and cloud spending deals: About 48 percent of Anthropic's revenue comes directly from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure platforms, the filing said. At the same time, Anthropic has entered into long-term agreements with Amazon and Google for computing needs.
It said it is pursuing minimum usage agreements with Amazon for at least $110 billion through 2036 and Google Cloud for $114.5 billion through 2033. Although Amazon has $6.2 billion in convertible notes, its stake will be limited to a maximum of 12 percent. Corporate Governance – Majority Voting Rights for Founders: A strong governance structure has been put in place to ensure that the strategic reins of the company remain with the founders despite being listed on the public markets. 'Founder LLC', owned by seven co-founders including CEO Dario Amodai and President Daniela Amodai, has created Class F shares with 50.1 percent voting rights in the election of key directors on the board. Analysts believe that Anthropic's upcoming IPO with a valuation of billions of dollars will be one of the largest listings in the history of the international tech capital market.
