What happened
Goldman Sachs projects Anthropic could generate $685 billion in revenue by 2030 — more than 130 times its 2025 figure — as the AI lab prepares a $1.4 trillion IPO as soon as next week.
Why it matters
A revenue figure that large would place the AI lab among the largest companies in the world, and it is paired with about $900 billion in planned AI buildout spending, underscoring the scale of the bet behind the IPO.
WHO IT HITSThis lands on investors weighing the IPO and on enterprise buyers of AI models, who may read the $685 billion projection and $900 billion buildout plan as signals of how aggressively Anthropic intends to scale.

The Goldman Sachs projection puts Anthropic's potential 2030 revenue at $685 billion, a figure that would rank it among the largest companies in the world. That number is more than 130 times its 2025 sales, according to the report, and it arrives alongside plans to spend about $900 billion on AI buildout.
The IPO is described as a $1.4 trillion offering that could come as soon as next week. The scale of both the projected revenue and the planned spending suggests the company is positioning itself for a very large public market debut, though the report does not detail how the proceeds would be used beyond the buildout figure.
The report also notes that the sums would make CEO Dario Amodei one of the world's most influential executives, which in turn could empower institutions sympathetic to his views on effective altruism and existential risk. That dynamic is already contested: the Trump administration has condemned effective altruism, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg and Nvidia's Jensen Huang have criticized Amodei as a "doomer." How that debate shapes the IPO reception is not specified.
