Anthropic, the developer of the AI model Claude, filed its IPO registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2026, to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker 'ANT' next month. The IPO is expected to be the largest ever, with potential valuations around $2 trillion (about 136 trillion won), according to reports from Yonhap, Maeil Business, and Kyunghyang Shinmun. The filing comes amid surging revenue and massive infrastructure costs, positioning it as a test of AI industry growth and profitability. Korean media highlight that the news lifted AI stocks, with the Nasdaq rising 0.82% on the day, as semiconductor shares rebounded from recent weakness. The Korea Times notes that the filing occurs despite CEO warnings about existential risks from advanced AI, and Chosun Ilbo outlines five key issues from the registration statement.
