Anthropic told prospective investors that its second-quarter revenue topped 11.5 billion dollars, more than fourteen times the same quarter a year earlier, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg. The figure suggests the Claude maker is growing faster than almost any other company its size.
The documents show a preliminary revenue number of more than 11.5 billion dollars for the quarter that ended in June 2026. A year earlier, the comparable quarter brought in 787 million dollars. The first quarter of 2026 came in at 4.73 billion dollars, so the second quarter more than doubled sequentially as well.
Anthropic also reported positive adjusted operating income for the quarter, a notable line for a company that has been burning heavily on compute and talent. The disclosure comes as the company courts investors ahead of a possible public offering.
The surge reflects how quickly enterprise spending on coding and agentic tools has moved. Claude Code and API usage for software engineering have become the core of Anthropic's business, and the numbers indicate that demand is compounding rather than leveling off.
The caveat is that these are preliminary, investor-facing figures rather than audited results. But the trajectory, if sustained, puts Anthropic in a different league from where it stood eighteen months ago, when it was a fraction of the size of the largest AI labs.
