Anthropic has postponed the release of its IPO prospectus to the end of September, hoping to list before the US midterm elections.

Anthropic has moved its IPO plans forward, expecting to release its prospectus in late September and begin trading as early as mid-October, just days before the US midterm elections in November. This comes amid speculation that the company's valuation could reach $2 trillion, making it one of the largest IPOs in history.

On September 5, 2569, Reuters reported that Anthropic, a US artificial intelligence (AI) company, had moved up its initial public offering (IPO) schedule. The company is now expected to begin its IPO marketing process as early as mid-October and could be listed on the stock market just days before the US midterm elections in November.

This move represents a delay from the original schedule, as the market had expected Anthropic to release its IPO prospectus as early as next week. However, the latest forecast is that the release will occur in late September.

However, sources indicate that the entire schedule, including the listing timing, is subject to change as the company is in the process of preparing for the initial public offering.

This shift in the timeframe has also caused a delay in one of the most anticipated IPOs, with some investors estimating Anthropic's valuation at up to $2 trillion. If that estimate is accurate, Anthropic's IPO would become one of the largest IPOs ever.

The listing also serves as a crucial test of investor demand in the capital market, revealing how strong the investment trend in companies benefiting from the rapid growth of AI will remain, following the significant interest in AI-related technology and infrastructure companies in recent times.

Reuters reports that Anthropic continues to prepare for its IPO, and is in the process of finalizing a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, part of the pre-listing process.

Following the completion of the credit facility arrangement, analysts from the participating banks are expected to meet with Anthropic's management to discuss and gain a better understanding of the business before proceeding to the investor presentation phase.

Typically, companies preparing for an IPO space out the time between analyst meetings and the public release of their prospectus, but Anthropic may have used a shorter timeframe because the analysts involved are already familiar with the company.

Financial institutions working with Anthropic in the IPO preparation process include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Citigroup, all major Wall Street banks.

Anthropic's planned IPO comes at a time when investors are seeking to increase their opportunities to invest in major AI companies through the stock market, while OpenAI, a key competitor in the AI ​​industry, is also considering the possibility of an IPO.

The trend of taking large tech companies public was further boosted after SpaceX's IPO last June, with a valuation of approximately $1.77 trillion. The market is now watching to see if Anthropic can set a new record for IPOs.
