Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI chatbot and virtual assistant, may go public soon. If so, the company stands to join other major players in the AI industry considering IPOs in 2026, including OpenAI and SpaceX. Here's what we know about the Anthropic IPO and how investors can buy in from Canada.
Anthropic is reportedly exploring plans to go public, although it has not yet filed a viewable Form S-1 prospectus with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Rumours of an IPO began circulating in December 2025 when sources familiar with the matter revealed that the company is consulting with US law firm Wilson Sonsini and major banks regarding the public offering, which could take place in 2026.
The IPO stands to be one of the largest ever and could bring in as much as $60 billion for the company, currently valued at $380 billion.
Details like the stock exchange, ticker symbol, share volume and share price are unknown. We'll update this page with more information as it becomes available.
Note: All dollar amounts on this page are in US dollars unless otherwise stated.
Once Anthropic goes public, you'll need a brokerage account to invest. Consider opening a brokerage account today so you're ready as soon as the stock hits the market.
You won't be able to buy Anthropic stocks on a Canadian stock exchange like the TSX. Instead, you need a Canadian broker that provides access to international stock exchanges.
You can access US exchanges like the NYSE and the NASDAQ using Canadian trading platforms like Qtrade, Wealthsimple, Scotia iTRADE and CIBC Investor's Edge.
Interactive Brokers provides access to many stock exchanges outside North America like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK), Korea Stock Exchange (KSE), National Stock Exchange of India (NSE), Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB) and London Stock Exchange (LSE).
It's impossible to predict how any stock will perform — and IPOs can be particularly volatile. Looking at the performance of similar companies can help you decide if now is a good time to buy Anthropic stock.

Canadians who earn dividends from US stock investments must pay the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) a 15% withholding tax on their earnings. The rate goes down to 10% for bonds and other interest-yielding US investments.
An exception is made for stock investments held in trusts designed to provide retirement income. This includes RRIFs, LIRAs, LIFs, LRIFs and Prescribed RRIFs. RRSPs that hold US stocks, bonds or ETFs are also exempt from US withholding tax. RESPs, TFSAs and RDSPs are not exempt.
Canadian and international investment income must be declared on your Canadian tax return. Unless your US earnings are exempt from withholding tax, this means you'll be taxed by both the IRS and the CRA. The CRA may allow you to claim foreign tax credits for any taxes you've already paid to the IRS.
