Anthropic targets $1.5T IPO as FTX's sold stake looks like a historic miss
- —First-half 2026 revenue reached $16.3 billion, up more than 1,300% year over year
- —Net loss was about $80.7 billion, mostly non-cash valuation adjustments; operating loss was $693 million
- —The IPO could raise up to $100 billion against $500–800 billion in infrastructure commitments
- —FTX invested $500 million in the 2022 Series B; its stake was diluted from 13.56% to 7.84%
Why it matters: The listing will set a public benchmark for AI valuations and remind crypto of FTX's collapse costs.
