Anthropic’s recent $65 billion Series H funding round at a $965 billion valuation, coupled with a confidential S-1 filing for a potential 2026 IPO, has solidified trader expectations that the artificial intelligence company will remain independent through year-end. Strong run-rate revenue exceeding $47 billion, ongoing model development such as Claude releases, and strategic acquisitions of smaller AI tools underscore its self-sustaining trajectory rather than any need for an exit. High-profile investors including Amazon and Google continue providing compute and capital without pursuing control. While a sudden regulatory shift or unexpected founder decision could theoretically reopen talks, current market-implied odds near 97% reflect the clear momentum toward public listing over any near-term acquisition.
