Anthropic Q2 Revenue Soars to Over $11.5 Billion, Up More Than 14-Fold Year-Over-Year

Anthropic PBC disclosed to potential investors that the company's second-quarter revenue grew by at least 14 times compared to the same period last year.

According to Bloomberg, Anthropic's preliminary revenue for the second quarter exceeded $11.5 billion, compared to $787 million in the same period of 2025 and $4.73 billion in the first quarter of this year. Meanwhile, Anthropic achieved a positive adjusted operating profit in the second quarter.

As the company competes with long-time rival OpenAI for corporate clients, Anthropic is experiencing rapid growth. Once considered a laggard in the AI race, Anthropic is now seeing its software increasingly adopted by professionals to streamline various tasks, including programming.

Previous media reports indicated that Anthropic's annualized revenue surpassed $47 billion in May. According to a previous article by Wallstreetcn, OpenAI's annualized revenue exceeded $40 billion, although the calculation methods used by the two companies may not be entirely identical.

In July, insiders revealed that Anthropic was meeting with investors in preparation for a potential large-scale IPO. Anthropic has secretly filed for listing and is working with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs Group, and JPMorgan Chase to advance the IPO.

Anthropic aims to leverage the ample financing capacity of the public market to maintain its lead over competitors such as OpenAI. Currently, AI companies are investing hundreds of billions of dollars to develop the most advanced artificial intelligence models.

The AI race has also heated up the IPO market. According to data compiled by Bloomberg, cumulative IPO fundraising since the beginning of the year has reached $256.4 billion, excluding Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs) and other financial instruments. This scale represents the highest annual level since 2021.
