Anthropic, the creator of the Claude chatbot, has seen its annual revenue run rate surge to over $65 billion by the end of July, a significant increase from $47 billion in May. The AI company is preparing for a potential initial public offering (IPO) and is reportedly seeking a revolving credit facility that is expected to exceed its roughly $10 billion target. Banks are actively seeking involvement in arranging this credit line, viewing it as a potential precursor to securing roles in Anthropic's IPO. The company has confidentially filed for the IPO in June. In preparation for the offering, Anthropic is planning to grant its CEO Dario Amodei and other co-founders a class of stock with enhanced voting power. The company also intends to maintain its existing governance structure where non-shareholder trustees elect a majority of the board members. These plans could still change, and the specifics of the voting arrangements are not yet public.
