Anthropic Raises Up to $100B at Potential $2T Valuation
aakashgupta · x · 2026-08-22
Reports suggest Anthropic is looking to raise up to $100 billion at a potential $2 trillion valuation, potentially surpassing SpaceX as the largest IPO in history.
Revenue Growth:
- Q2 2025: $787 million revenue.
- Q2 2026: $11.5 billion revenue, a 14x year-over-year increase.
- Annualized Run Rate: $20B in Jan, rising to $47B in May and past $65B in July, with models projecting $100-120B by year-end.
Valuation Analysis:
At $100B revenue, a $2T valuation implies a 20x price-to-sales ratio, lower than Palantir's 50x. Amazon's $13B investment now yields approximately $53.4 billion in paper gains.
