Hype Around Anthropic's IPO
Anthropic is in an SEC-monitored quiet period ahead of an expected fall 2026 IPO, while third-party reports and leaks have circulated highly optimistic financial claims. Reuters reported that Anthropic is projecting 2028 revenue of roughly $190–$200 billion, citing unnamed sources. Bloomberg published leaked documents suggesting a large Q2 revenue surge, and CNBC linked reporting indicates Q2 revenue jumped to over $11.5 billion. Podcasters and commentators (e.g., Gavin Baker, Dwarkesh Patel) have publicly amplified aggressive revenue forecasts. The author signals skepticism about these claims, noting the reliance on undisclosed assumptions and unnamed sources and saying he will dissect what has been omitted from the public narrative.
