Anthropic, which could publicly file its IPO paperwork as soon as the end of this month, is looking to match or exceed that record, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. **Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs** and **JPMorgan** are reportedly working on Anthropic’s IPO and other banks may be added to the roster. The company has also been holding discussions with investors in recent weeks as it gears up to go public. Details surrounding the IPO, including the size, are subject to change, Bloomberg noted. **Read Also: BlackSun Wants $7B for Sports and Media. It's Starting With $1B From the Gulf.** Anthropic’s rapid expansion has been driven largely by growing demand from businesses using Claude for coding, research, automation and other enterprise applications. The company’s annualized revenue run rate reportedly surged to $65 billion by the end of July, putting it ahead of rival **OpenAI**, whose annualized revenue reached about $40 billion. In May, **Anthropic** overtook **OpenAI** as the world’s most valuable startup after raising $65 billion in Series H, valuing the company at $965 billion. **Altimeter Capital**, **Dragoneer**, **Greenoaks** and **Sequoia Capital** led the funding round. It has also previously been reported that CEO **Dario Amodei** could receive super-voting shares ahead of the AI company’s IPO, giving him and other co-founders greater control even as their ownership stakes remain relatively small. Ahead of the public filing, Anthropic is set to finalize a revolving credit facility that will come in above its roughly $10 billion target, Bloomberg reported, expanding on the financing it pursued in July. *Photo: Shutterstock* **Read Also: xAI Just Did in 2.3 Years What Took SpaceX Nearly Two Decades** ### Related Stocks - [ANTH.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/ANTH.NA.md) - [GS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS.US.md) - [GS-A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS-A.US.md) - [MS.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS.US.md) - [GS-C.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS-C.US.md) - [GS-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/GS-D.US.md) - [JPM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM.US.md) - [OpenAI.NA](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [MS-O.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-O.US.md) - [MS-Q.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-Q.US.md) - [MS-E.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-E.US.md) - [MS-I.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-I.US.md) - [MS-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-L.US.md) - [MS-P.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-P.US.md) - [MS-A.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-A.US.md) - [MS-F.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-F.US.md) - [MS-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MS-K.US.md) - [W4VR.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/W4VR.SG.md) - [JPM-M.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-M.US.md) - [JPM-C.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-C.US.md) - [JPM-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-D.US.md) - [JPM-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-L.US.md) - [8634.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8634.JP.md) - [JPM-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-K.US.md) - [JPM-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-J.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Anthropic and OpenAI Seek Post-IPO Investment-Grade Ratings as Massive AI Compute Spending Fuels Financing Needs](https://longbridge.com/en/news/298278342.md) - [T.
