The firm generated $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, up from $1.1 billion a year earlier, but posted a net loss of $80.7 billion, of which $72 billion was due to noncash accounting charges. Its existing obligations include about $450 billion in noncancelable cloud agreements—including contracts with Google for $111 billion, Amazon for $110 billion, and Microsoft for $31 billion—and a $160 billion deal with Broadcom. Risk factors in the filing highlight that two unnamed customers provide 20% of revenue and that liabilities from catastrophic AI incidents may be uninsurable.

An updated draft S-1 filing shows that total spending on computing power in the coming years could reach $750 billion. This updated estimate exceeds the $600 billion figure previously disclosed, as the company continues to negotiate new deals for capacity. Anthropic is tentatively targeting a November IPO at a valuation of up to $2 trillion.
