Anthropic reports $16.3 billion first-half revenue in draft IPO filing
Anthropic booked $16.3 billion in revenue over the first six months of 2026, according to figures in a draft IPO prospectus reported by Crypto Briefing. The same filing records a net loss of $80.7 billion for the period, driven mainly by non-cash accounting charges.
Revenue and compute spending in the filing
The company's first-half revenue of $16.3 billion compares with $1.1 billion in the same period of 2025. That half-year figure is more than three times the approximately $4.6 billion Anthropic brought in across all of 2025.
Compute and infrastructure spending also rose, though more slowly. Anthropic spent nearly $9 billion on compute in the first half, against $7.3 billion for the whole of 2025. The filing says the company generated $1.70 in revenue for every dollar spent on compute and reported adjusted profitability for the second consecutive quarter.
Where the net loss comes from
The net loss of $80.7 billion is largely accounted for by $72 billion in non-cash charges linked to the rising value of convertible financing instruments, according to the filing. No cash left the company to cover those charges.
The filing also lists long-term cloud and infrastructure commitments valued between $518 billion and more than $600 billion. The largest include $111 billion with Google, $110 billion with AWS and $31 billion with Microsoft.
Customer concentration and the planned listing
Around 20 to 25 percent of first-half revenue came from two customers, who are not named. Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company based in San Francisco, is planning an IPO slated for November 2026, potentially at a valuation of up to $2 trillion. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are set to lead the offering.
The figures are taken from a draft prospectus, so they may change before any listing. The report on which this account rests comes from a single outlet, Crypto Briefing.
Open questions
- Will the figures in the final prospectus match the draft?
- Who are the two customers accounting for about a fifth to a quarter of revenue?
