Anthropic, the AI company behind the Claude chatbot, filed a confidential S-1 with the SEC on June 1, targeting a Nasdaq listing as early as mid-to-late October. The company aims for a valuation between $1.5 and $2 trillion, while its latest private market valuation reached approximately $965 billion during its Series H funding round in May. Annualized revenue is projected to exceed $100 billion by end of 2026. Several ETFs already hold pre-IPO stakes in Anthropic, totaling approximately $122 million by mid-2026, including the iShares A.I. Innovation & Tech Active ETF with roughly $109 million. Rapid inclusion in major ETFs could channel billions of dollars in passive fund flows into this potentially historic IPO.
