Anthropic has taken a major step towards a public listing, confidentially submitting a draft registration statement for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In a brief announcement on its website, the artificial intelligence company said it had filed a draft Form S-1 registration statement with the SEC, giving it the option to go public once the regulator completes its review process.

The proposed IPO remains subject to market conditions and other factors, Anthropic said. The company added that the number of shares to be offered and the pricing of the offering have not yet been determined.

Anthropic said the announcement was made in accordance with Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933 and does not constitute an offer to sell securities or a solicitation to buy them. Any future offering will be conducted in compliance with applicable securities laws and registration requirements.

The filing marks a significant milestone for Anthropic, which has emerged as one of the leading players in the generative AI race.

The company is best known for developing the Claude family of AI models and has attracted backing from major technology firms and investors as competition in the AI sector intensifies.

More details about the offering are expected to be disclosed if and when Anthropic publicly files its registration statement following the SEC's review process.

The IPO filing comes just months after Anthropic expanded its product portfolio with the launch of Claude Design, an AI-powered tool that enables users to create prototypes, presentations, marketing assets and landing pages through conversational prompts.

Powered by the company's Claude Opus 4.7 model, the platform is aimed at designers, marketers, product managers and founders looking to streamline creative workflows and accelerate content production.
