Anthropic reports $17 billion in Q3 revenue and $895.4 billion in commitments

Anthropic has released updated financials as part of an amended Form S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, providing investors with a more comprehensive view of the company's business as it prepares for a potential initial public offering.

Financial Performance and Revenue Growth

According to the amended S-1 filing, Anthropic generated approximately $17 billion in revenue during the third quarter, which represents an increase of about 1,127% compared to the same period last year. While revenue continues to grow, the rate of growth has slowed on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Third-quarter revenue increased by around 47%, a decrease from the 144% growth reported in Q2 and the 132% growth reported in Q1.

For the nine months ended Sept. 30, the company reported generating $33.24 billion in revenue, an increase of roughly 1,200% from the same period in the previous year. During this nine-month period, Anthropic reported a net loss of $104 billion. The company noted that most of this loss was due to the change in fair value of convertible notes and derivative liabilities. In the same nine-month stretch in 2025, the company had a loss of $25.1 billion.

Infrastructure and Purchase Commitments

In the amended filing, Anthropic disclosed that it has entered into lease agreements and purchase commitments with an aggregate committed spend of approximately $895.4 billion. The company stated that "substantially all of which is related to compute and infrastructure."

As the company scales, its costs related to these resources have risen. Anthropic reported that compute and infrastructure expenses increased by $14.4 billion for the nine months ended Sept. 30, a 329% increase compared to the same period last year. Regarding this increase, Anthropic stated in the filing, "As our compute and infrastructure capacity grows, the associated compute and infrastructure expenses have increased."

To meet its capacity needs, Anthropic relies on partners including Amazon, Google, and SpaceX, and also utilizes neoclouds for some compute as it seeks to expand.

Risk Factors and Safety Positioning

Anthropic's S-1 includes more than 90 pages of risk factors. The company highlighted several areas of concern, including its complex infrastructure needs, potential political headwinds, and the difficulties involved in balancing commercial objectives with safety.

"We consider it our personal responsibility to help the world understand these risks, to prevent or mitigate them when they arise from our AI models, and to work with governments and the rest of the industry to address them at a societal level," Anthropic’s co-founders said in the filing.

Why it matters

Anthropic's capital-intensive model and massive infrastructure commitments come at a time of market uncertainty regarding AI buildouts. Investors have expressed concerns that rising interest rates could make debt unaffordable for data center developers and neoclouds. Additionally, recent quarterly reports from Alphabet, Amazon, and Microsoft have fueled concerns that aggressive spending on AI may impact cash flows and that computing capacity may not be deployed quickly enough to meet demand.
