Anthropic Hits $65 Billion Run Rate, Up 600% as IPO Nears $965 Billion Valuation

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Finance · Aug 20

Summary

  • $65 billion was Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate at the end of July, marking roughly 600% growth from late 2025 after preliminary Q2 revenue reached about $11.5 billion.
  • That surge comes as Anthropic prepares for an IPO after filing confidentially in June, with its latest private valuation standing at $965 billion and no listing date yet disclosed.
  • Amazon is positioned to benefit beyond its roughly $13 billion investment because Anthropic has committed $100 billion to Amazon cloud services over 10 years and secured up to 5 gigawatts of AI-chip capacity.
  • SpaceX also has a major commercial stake: Anthropic pays about $1.25 billion a month through 2029 to lease compute capacity running on more than 300,000 Nvidia chips, according to SpaceX’s IPO filing.
  • The latest figures extend Anthropic’s momentum after it overtook OpenAI in Q2 revenue, underscoring how its growth is reshaping the economics of major AI infrastructure providers.
