Anthropic reportedly undergoing audit as IPO speculation swirls, analyst claims

- Matthew Chang interprets a rumor that Anthropic is being audited, suggesting it is preparing an S-1 filing for an IPO.
- He notes the required PCAOB audit (covering revenue recognition and expenses) is mandatory for public companies.
- His critical take: the IPO size would land Anthropic in the Fortune 500 and Dow Jones, letting VCs exit while 401k and pension holders end up owning the stock.
- Unverified speculation from a third party, not an official announcement.
