Anthropic filed to go public in June. OpenAI might now wait until 2027. 🤯
Same AI race. Same moment. Two completely different bets.
Here's what's really happening 👇
Anthropic quietly submitted confidential IPO paperwork on June 1. It's on track to hit the market later this year.
OpenAI filed its own paperwork a week later, on June 8.
But new reports say OpenAI may push its listing all the way to 2027.
But why would you delay the biggest IPO in tech history?
Here's the real game:
✅ Anthropic's valuation just hit $965 billion, after a $65 billion funding round
✅ Its revenue run-rate crossed $47 billion this year, up from $10 billion last year
✅ OpenAI sits at $852 billion. Sam Altman wants $1 trillion at IPO. Nothing less
✅ His advisors gave him a choice: list now at a lower number, or wait for 2027 and walk in at $1 trillion
✅ Altman said no to the first option
✅ That leaves the door wide open for Anthropic to go first
TIMING.
The company that lists first doesn't just raise money.
It sets the price everyone else gets compared to.
Anthropic is racing to define what "success" looks like for an AI company on Wall Street.
OpenAI is betting the number matters more than the moment.
One of them could be right. One of them could be paying for it in 2027.
