Sources say that Anthropic's net loss in the first half of this year exceeded $80 billion, and the IPO valuation was scrutinized by investors消息称 Anthropic 今年上半年净亏损超 800 亿美元，IPO 估值遭投资者审视

IT House October 21st news, according to the "Wall Street Journal" local time on Tuesday, Anthropic's net loss in the first half of the year exceeded $80 billion (IT House note: the current exchange rate is about 535.493 billion yuan), while releasing the signal that up to $750 billion (the current exchange rate is about 5.02 trillion yuan) may be invested in the next few years to expand computing power resources. The report quoted a draft IPO prospectus as saying that the company lost $13 billion in the same period last year (the current exchange rate is about 87.018 billion yuan), and the loss increased significantly, mainly due to the accounting loss of $72 billion (the current exchange rate is about 481.944 billion yuan), which is related to the change in the value of financial instruments issued by Anthropic for financing. This data shows the high cost of the AI race, while investors are more cautiously examining whether the huge amount of money companies put into chips and data centers will pay off. The Wall Street Journal said that in the six months to June 30, Anthropic's revenue soared from $1.1 billion (current exchange rate of about 7.363 billion yuan) in the same period last year to $16.3 billion (current exchange rate of about 109.107 billion yuan), while investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure almost quadrupled to nearly $9 billion (current exchange rate of about 60.243 billion yuan). Anthropic IPO valuation under scrutiny Reuters reported in September based on its IPO prospectus that Anthropic had a net loss of $42 billion in 2025 (current exchange rate of about 281.134 billion yuan). The company's growth has benefited from the popularity of Claude Code, a programming assistant for developers to write software and build apps. Four people familiar with the matter told Reuters that after the Anthropic Investor Day event last week, some existing investors and potential investors began to consider downgrading the valuation of the AI company after seeing the latest financial disclosure. At the event in San Francisco, investors discussed a valuation of about $1.5 trillion (current exchange rate of about 10.04 trillion yuan), according to three people familiar with the matter, which was significantly downgraded from the previously expected November stock sale of about $2 trillion (current exchange rate of about 13.39 trillion yuan). Anthropic told investors at the meeting that the company's third-quarter revenue rose 45% month-on-month to $16.8 billion (current exchange rate is about 1,124. 5.4 billion yuan) and was profitable on an adjusted basis during the quarter. A cold Anthropic IPO could weigh on the broader AI market. Before rival OpenAI is expected to go public next year, investors generally believe that the short-term outlook for the AI industry depends largely on the success of the IPO.
