Anthropic Surges Past OpenAI with $65 Billion Revenue Run Rate Ahead of Historic IPO

▪

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic has reported an annualized revenue run rate exceeding sixty-five billion dollars as of July 2026, according to confidential updates shared with investors. The figure marks a massive increase from an annualized pace of nine billion dollars at the close of 2025, driven by rapid enterprise adoption of models such as Claude and developer platform Claude Code. Anthropic also disclosed preliminary second-quarter revenue of more than eleven billion five hundred million dollars, significantly higher than seven hundred eighty-seven million dollars recorded during the same period last year. The commercial acceleration places Anthropic ahead of rival OpenAI, which recently reported a run rate of approximately forty billion dollars. The milestone coincides with preparations for an initial public offering, following a confidential prospectus filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in June. Financial markets estimate a potential valuation exceeding two trillion dollars as the company advances toward a public debut.
