**Anthropic’s confidential SEC filing on June 1, 2026, ahead of OpenAI’s June 8 filing, has solidified trader consensus that it will reach public markets first, reflected in the 75.5% implied probability.** The company’s $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion valuation in late May provided fresh capital and momentum, while earlier steps such as retaining Wilson Sonsini for IPO preparations positioned it to move faster. Reports indicate Anthropic is explicitly targeting a potential listing as soon as fall 2026, possibly October, giving it a timing edge. OpenAI has engaged banks and signaled flexibility for a September or late-2026 debut at up to $1 trillion valuation, but its later filing and statements about preferring to remain private longer have kept its odds lower. Key upcoming catalysts include any public S-1 disclosures or confirmed roadshow timelines that could shift the race, though current developments favor Anthropic’s lead in this closely watched AI IPO contest.
