Anthropic files S-1 with the SEC for proposed initial public offering

Anthropic, a public benefit corporation focused on developing AI products and research with safety as a priority, has filed a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering. The company plans to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol ANT. The filing is an initial step toward a public offering, not confirmation that shares are available to buy.

Anthropic has not yet disclosed how many shares it intends to offer or the proposed price range. The offering will be made only through a prospectus, which will be available once prepared. Although the registration statement has been filed, it has not become effective; securities cannot be sold, and offers to buy cannot be accepted, before that happens. The announcement itself is not an offer to sell or a request for offers to buy, and any future sale must comply with applicable securities laws. The company names Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as contacts for obtaining the preliminary prospectus when it becomes available.
