Anthropic made $16.3 billion in 6 months

Anthropic made 16.29 billion dollars in sales in the first half of 2026, its stock market filing showed on the 26th of October 2026. The same 6 months a year earlier brought in 1.16 billion dollars.

The filing is called an S-1, the paperwork a US company files before it sells shares to the public. Anthropic plans to list on the Nasdaq exchange as ANT.

Profit and loss

Anthropic lost 693 million dollars from running its business in the 6 months to June, the filing showed. That loss was 2.1 billion dollars a year earlier, Fortune reported.

By its own adjusted measure, which leaves out some costs such as staff shares, Anthropic made 1.6 billion dollars. That is about 10 cents of profit on every dollar of sales.

The 80.7 billion dollar loss

Its net loss was 80.7 billion dollars, one of the largest half-year losses on record, Fortune reported. Most of it, 72.4 billion dollars, is an accounting charge tied to the rising value of loans that investors can turn into shares.

That charge is a cost on paper with no cash paid out. Anthropic also took in 3.9 billion dollars of cash from its business, its first time above zero.
