## Anthropic's Revenue Growth
Anthropic's revenue grew 12-fold to nearly $4.6 billion in 2025, but the company still lost more than $8 billion running the business.
## IPO Valuation Target
Anthropic's IPO could value the company above $2 trillion, more than double the $965 billion it reached in May.
## Infrastructure Spending Plan
Anthropic expects to spend at least $518 billion over a decade on AI infrastructure with six partners, and about 80% of that sum is non-cancelable or payable regardless of usage.
## Customer Spending Commitments
Anthropic plans to spend at least $111.1 billion with Google, $110 billion with Amazon, and $31.4 billion with Microsoft over the next seven to 10 years.
## Risk Factors in Filing
Nearly a third of Anthropic's IPO filing warns investors about risks, including that AI models could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.
## Customer Financial Impact
Anthropic clients, including PagerDuty and ServiceNow, can't predict costs after recent price increases, and ServiceNow has already exceeded its full-year budget for Anthropic tools.
## IPO Timeline
Anthropic's IPO is expected after the November midterm elections, with the prospectus publishing at least 15 days before the investor roadshow begins.
## Key takeaway

Anthropic's IPO prospectus shows the company plans to spend $518 billion on AI computing over the next decade, with most costs non-cancelable regardless of usage.
