The figure exceeds SpaceX's claimed $28.5 trillion TAM and contrasts with the $2.4 trillion combined revenue of 191 tech firms in the S&P 1500 last year. Anthropic doubled its second-quarter revenue to $11.6 billion and expects $190 billion to $200 billion by 2028, as it seeks a $2 trillion valuation and up to $100 billion in funding.", "body_md": "# Anthropic sees a market opportunity of more than $30 trillion ahead of its IPO\n\n**Anthropic wants to sell investors on a theoretical market opportunity worth more than $30 trillion ahead of its planned IPO.** The company is expected to put its total addressable market (TAM) at that figure, [the Wall Street Journal reports](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-expected-to-tell-investors-it-sees-over-30-trillion-in-potential-revenue-a611efea). To get there, Anthropic counts all the work that AI models could take on.\n\nThe TAM is the annual revenue a company could theoretically reach if it owned 100 percent of the market. That would put Anthropic ahead of SpaceX, which claimed $28.5 trillion in May and called it the \"largest actionable TAM in the history of mankind.\" A simple comparison shows why the numbers draw doubts. The 191 tech firms in the S&P 1500 pulled in a combined $2.4 trillion last year, according to FactSet.\n\nAnthropic doubled its revenue in the [second quarter to $11.6 billion](https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-passes-openai-on-revenue-for-the-first-time/). It expects revenue of roughly $190 billion to $200 billion by 2028. The company is chasing a valuation of about $2 trillion, wants to raise up to $100 billion, and could [go public in September or October](https://the-decoder.com/anthropics-planned-mega-ipo-faces-investor-skepticism-over-chinese-rivals-and-political-headwinds/).\n\n```\nAI News Without the Hype – Curated by Humans\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe to THE DECODER for ad-free reading, a weekly AI newsletter, our exclusive \"AI Radar\" frontier report six times a year, full archive access, and access to our comment section.\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe now\n```\n\n[Wall Street Journal](https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anthropic-expected-to-tell-investors-it-sees-over-30-trillion-in-potential-revenue-a611efea)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo", "canonical_source": "https://the-decoder.com/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo/", "published_at": "2026-08-26 10:02:39+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-26 10:16:11.437409+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Wall Street Journal", "SpaceX", "S&P 1500", "FactSet"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/anthropic-sees-a-market-opportunity-of-more-than-30-trillion-ahead-of-its-ipo.jsonld"}}
