Anthropic isn’t even public yet, and people are already predicting it will beat out Elon Musk’s SpaceX for the largest IPO of the year.
Prediction market odds show Anthropic quickly closing the gap with SpaceX for the largest IPO of 2026 as its revenue growth accelerates into a potential fourth quarter market debut, according to Polymarket data. Bloomberg reported late Monday that Anthropic’s annualized revenue for 2026 is on track to top $65 billion, up from a $47 billion pace in May.
OpenAI — Anthropic’s archrival that could also make a market debut later this year — isn’t showing up in Polymarket’s data as a contender for the largest IPO of 2026.For now, though, SpaceX holds the crown.
The company officially priced its stock at $135 on June 11, offering 555.6 million shares. The pricing valued SpaceX at $1.78 trillion.
SpaceX made its historic public debut on the Nasdaq on June 12, when the stock officially opened for trading around midday at $150 per share.
Driven by heavy demand from both institutional and retail investors, the stock steadily climbed throughout the session before closing its first day at $160.95.
This successful 19.2% gain from its initial offering price instantly catapulted SpaceX to a massive $2.1 trillion market capitalisation.
