Anthropic Secures $1.2 Trillion Valuation Boost Ahead Of 2026 IPO With Growing Investor Demand
Anthropic’s implied valuation on secondary market platforms has surged to approximately $1.2 trillion, a 550% increase from a year ago, as investor demand for shares intensifies ahead of a potential IPO later in 2026. The valuation exceeds OpenAI’s reported valuation of roughly $908 billion and comes shortly after Anthropic completed a $65 billion funding round in May that valued the company at $965 billion. Despite the strong demand, actual trading activity remains limited due to scarce share availability. The company is also expanding its footprint, having leased a large office building in Manhattan and planning to grow its New York workforce to more than 1,000 employees by the end of 2026, underscoring its rapid growth as it prepares for a possible public listing.

Mercor In Talks To Raise $20 Billion Following Deeptune Acquisition And Revenue GrowthMercor, an AI training startup, is reportedly in early discussions to raise a new funding round at a $20 billion valuation. The potential valuation would double the company’s $10 billion valuation from October 2025, when it raised a $350 million Series C round. Founder and CEO Brendan Foody recently stated that Mercor’s annualized revenue run rate has surpassed $2 billion, representing 100% growth in just four months. The company also announced the acquisition of Deeptune, an AI agent training firm, with the entire Deeptune team joining Mercor. The strong revenue growth, acquisition activity, and prospective funding round suggest Mercor is continuing to expand despite challenges earlier this year, including a data breach and legal disputes involving contract workers.
