Anthropic Files Prospectus as North American Tech Giants Ramp Up AI Capital Expenditure
On October 26, Anthropic publicly submitted its S-1 prospectus to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Based on the previously estimated $100 billion financing, a successful listing would make it the largest IPO in history. The prospectus shows that in the first half of 2026, Anthropic's revenue was $16.29 billion, computing power and infrastructure spending was close to $9 billion, and signed computing power contracts totaled at least $657 billion, with terms extending as far as 2045. During the same period, Meta launched approximately $35 billion in equity financing, SpaceX announced approximately $40 billion in GPU equipment financing lease arrangements, and Microsoft, Google, and Amazon also raised their capital expenditure plans.
