Anthropic on Monday announced that it has taken the first steps to make its public debut.

The company revealed that it has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the SEC for a proposed initial public offering.

"This gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering," the company said in a post on X.

With this move, Anthropic has gotten ahead of Sam Altman's OpenAI, which is gearing up for its own public debut.

Here's What Prediction Market Is Saying

Polymarket, a Polygon (CRYPTO: POL) based prediction platform that allows users to wager on an outcome using the USDC (CRYPTO: USDC) stablecoin is currently betting on a contract "Anthropic IPO by __?"

Over $100,000 has been bet on the contract so far.

According to bettors, the probability that it debuts in June or July is slim, at 1% and 3%, respectively. Bettors are, however, confident that Anthropic will make its debut this year, placing 89% probability on the company making its debut by December 31, 2026.

Anthropic's $65 Billion Raise

Anthropic's filing comes just days after it raised $65 billion in a Series H round, taking its valuation to $965 billion, ahead of OpenAI, which was valued at around $850 billion in late March.

Anthropic has also partnered with SpaceX for access to GPU capacity in its Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 plants.

In May, the company announced that its annual revenue run rate had surged to $47 billion, up from $10 billion a year ago.
