Anthropic loses $80 billion net in first six months of 2026

Anthropic had a net loss of $80.7 billion in the first six months of 2026, according to a draft IPO prospectus reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. The numbers are disclosed only weeks before the AI company is expected to go public at a valuation of almost $2 trillion, adding even more scrutiny to the cost of its expansion. Most of the reported loss does not represent money flowing out of Anthropic’s coffers. About $72 billion stemmed from accounting adjustments linked to changes in the value of convertible notes and other financial instruments the company issued to raise capital, The Wall Street Journal reported . Anthropic’s losses were far lower in the first half of 2025, when they stood at about $13 billion.
