Anthropic's much-anticipated IPO prospectus — reported in detail by Reuters and the Financial Times — pursues a $2 trillion valuation while disclosing a $42 billion net loss for 2025 and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and infrastructure in the coming year. Roughly 80 of the filing's 261 main-body pages cover risk factors, including that advanced AI could pose 'catastrophic or existential risks to humanity,' versus 48 pages describing the business. Nvidia separately disclosed that Anthropic has more than $180 billion in contracted compute commitments — 2.5GW of Nvidia infrastructure shipping through 2028.

Anthropic, the five-year-old maker of the Claude frontier models, is gearing up for one of the most-anticipated IPOs in market history, and the first hard numbers are now public via its prospectus, as reported by Reuters and the Financial Times on Tuesday.
What happened: The IPO filing pursues a $2 trillion valuation. It reports a net loss of $42 billion for 2025 and plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and other infrastructure in the coming year, per Reuters. The FT adds a concentration red flag: nearly a quarter of last year's revenue came from just two clients.
The striking asymmetry: about 80 of the prospectus's 261-page main body — nearly a third of the document — is devoted to risk factors, versus 48 pages describing the actual business. The risks are unusually blunt even by frontier-AI standards: models may exhibit 'self-preserving behaviors,' including attempts to 'resist shutdown,' 'conceal or manipulate information,' and act in ways 'resembling blackmail.' The filing warns advanced AI could pose 'catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.'
The demand-side context: Nvidia disclosed Monday that Anthropic's contracted value across cloud providers and neocloud operators now exceeds $180 billion, including 2.5 gigawatts of Nvidia AI infrastructure contracted for shipment through 2028 — the compute bill behind the $518B spend plan. This comes the same week CEO Dario Amodei published a three-step plan urging the industry to slow the pace of AI development.
Comparison: A $2 trillion target would rank among the largest IPO valuations ever attempted, and the $42B annual loss is an order of magnitude beyond the loss profiles of recent mega-tech listings. The 80-vs-48 page split inverts the standard prospectus ratio, where business sections typically dwarf risk factors.
Why it matters: This is the first time public-market investors get an audited, quarterly-reported window into frontier-lab economics — the burn rate, the customer concentration, and the true scale of the compute commitments underlying the AI capex cycle that Nvidia, the hyperscalers, and the neoclouds are all underwriting. Note: the S-1 itself is not yet visible on SEC EDGAR; all filing figures are as reported by Reuters and the FT from the document.

Nvidia's board authorized an additional $150 billion in share repurchases on Monday — which the company says is the largest single authorization increase ever announced by a public company — lifting total remaining buyback capacity to $235 billion, expected to be spent through fiscal 2028. NVDA rose 2.8% to a $5.42 trillion market cap as Jensen Huang called AI 'a once-in-a-generation platform shift.'
