What happened

Anthropic (private, no ticker yet) revealed its IPO prospectus on Monday, with investors expecting a Nasdaq valuation above $2 trillion and a roadshow no earlier than mid-October. The prospectus shows about $4.6 billion in 2025 sales, a $42 billion net loss and $518 billion of planned computing spending. Its yearly sales pace (run rate) passed $65 billion by July, up from $47 billion in May. Reports differ on whether the listing lands just before or after the November midterm elections.

Why it matters

Anthropic's listing is the biggest test yet of whether investors will pay AI-era prices when borrowing is costly. The 10-year Treasury yield, a benchmark for loan costs, stood at 5.27% on Monday, making safer bonds pay more. A deal of up to $100 billion would top SpaceX's record $75 billion IPO, whose shares later traded near their offer price.
