Anthropic Hits $65 Billion Run Rate Ahead of IPO as Q2 Revenue Reaches $11.5 Billion

Summary
$65 billion was Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate at the end of July, according to an investor update reviewed by CNBC, up sevenfold from a year earlier.
$11.5 billion in preliminary second-quarter revenue underscored that acceleration, marking a 14-fold year-on-year jump as the Claude maker courts investors for an expected IPO.
Anthropic confidentially filed with the SEC in June and has begun preliminary investor meetings, seeking to support its $965 billion valuation even without a public listing timeline.
That growth comes despite June disruptions, when Anthropic briefly pulled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 to comply with a government export-control directive before restoring them about two weeks later.
The IPO push also unfolds amid a strained Washington backdrop after the Pentagon blacklisted Anthropic earlier this year, even as the company says it wants deeper government collaboration.
