Anthropic's IPO filing reveals striking numbers:
- Q2 revenue of $11.6B, up 1,368% year over year, with $974M in operating profit
- First-half revenue reached $16.3B, roughly 14x the prior year; operating cash flow was positive at $3.9B
- The filing discloses up to $120.5B in spending on NVIDIA-powered compute through SpaceXAI, under agreements extending into 2029
- The $80.7B first-half net loss included $81.1B in non-cash charges tied to financial instruments — reading the headline as cash burn badly misrepresents the business
Per the accompanying chart, hitting its reported $1.5–2T valuation target would place Anthropic in the same trillion-dollar club as Apple and Nvidia.
