ANTHROPIC valuation exceeds $1.2 trillion. How to trade ANTHROPIC in Gate TradFi in advance?

If you missed ANTHROPIC in the past two months, what you missed might be one of the most explosive assets in the AI sector.

According to Gate TradFi market data, as of May 9, 2026, ANTHROPIC’s bid price on the Gate platform has reached $1,640. In the past 24 hours, it has surged by as much as 27%, demonstrating strong buying momentum. More notably, since the official launch of Gate TradFi pre-IPO trading in mid-April 2026, ANTHROPIC’s cumulative increase has exceeded 100%—meaning if you entered during the project’s first week, your return has doubled in less than two months.

The backdrop for this price surge is the concentrated release of positive news ahead of the company’s IPO. According to the Financial Times on May 8, ANTHROPIC is actively evaluating the possibility of launching a new round of large-scale financing in summer 2026, planning to raise up to $50 billion at a pre-money valuation of $900 billion. If finalized, ANTHROPIC’s post-money valuation will directly surpass $1 trillion, overtaking OPENAI (which had a post-funding valuation of $852 billion after March financing), becoming the world’s highest-valued private AI company. Based on data from the Financial Times and related Pre-IPO trading platforms, ANTHROPIC’s latest valuation in May 2026 has been pushed up to $1.2 trillion.

For retail investors, the truly valuable reference isn’t the expected figures in the primary market, but rather the secondary market on Gate TradFi: an asset that only launched in mid-April and has doubled in value in less than a month, with speculative sentiment rapidly aligning with fundamental narratives.

Behind the Price: Explosive Revenue Growth and Increasingly Clear Profit Model

The price surge is not solely driven by sentiment.

ANTHROPIC’s revenue curve is extremely steep. By the end of 2025, its annualized revenue was only $9 billion; by February 2026, it jumped to $14 billion; in March, it approached $19 billion; and by early May, it surpassed $44 billion—taking less than five months to nearly quintuple its annualized revenue. This growth rate has been described by venture capitalists as “an unprecedented growth speed in the software industry’s history.”

The main driver of this growth is Claude Code—a developer-focused AI programming tool. ANTHROPIC CEO DARIO AMODEI revealed that Claude Code’s growth in Q1 2026 was 80-fold, with annualized revenue reaching $2.5 billion. Currently, about 4% of the code submitted publicly on GitHub worldwide is generated or contributed to by Claude Code.

On the enterprise side, ANTHROPIC’s performance is equally impressive. Its enterprise AI market share has risen from about 10% at the start of 2025 to over 65% in February 2026, quickly surpassing OPENAI. Over 80% of its revenue comes from corporate clients, with the number of clients paying annual fees over $1 million increasing from 500 to over 1,000 within just two months.

Compared to OPENAI, which is stuck in a “revenue growth without profit” dilemma, ANTHROPIC’s training costs are only a quarter of OPENAI’s, and its inference gross margin has significantly increased from 38% a year ago to over 70%. This demonstrates profitability and management capabilities far exceeding similar competitors, laying a more solid trust foundation for its ultimate valuation of trillions of dollars.

Product Matrix Fully Upgraded: Claude AI Learns to “Dream,” Wall Street Faces Financial AI Impact

If revenue data proves ANTHROPIC’s commercialization ability, recent product releases directly showcase its true technological ambitions.

From May 5 to May 6, ANTHROPIC launched two major moves in just two days:

First: 10 financial AI agents. On the evening of May 5, 2026, ANTHROPIC released 10 AI agents tailored for the financial industry, covering banking, insurance, asset management, and fintech across the entire value chain. These agents can independently draft client meeting presentations, automatically review financial statements, build financial models, identify compliance risks, and trigger review processes, deeply integrated into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. After the announcement, US financial data provider FactSet’s stock price dropped over 8% intraday, and Morningstar fell nearly 3%—a precise market reaction to AI reshaping profit distribution in finance.

Second: Making AI agents truly “learn to dream.” At the CODE WITH CLAUDE developer conference on May 6, ANTHROPIC introduced three core new features: Dreaming, Outcomes + Multiagent Orchestration. Dreaming allows AI to periodically review past conversations, recognize patterns, and automatically update memories, enabling continuous learning and self-review across sessions. Internal tests showed that after integrating Dreaming, Harvey legal platform’s document completion rate increased by about six times. Outcomes provides developers with a framework to define success criteria, with an independent evaluation subsystem judging whether results meet standards and capable of automatic iterative optimization.

Additionally, computational bottlenecks have been substantially alleviated. ANTHROPIC announced taking over all computing resources of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center, adding 220k Nvidia GPUs (including H100, H200, and GB200), completed within 30 days, directly doubling Claude Code’s five-hour rolling usage limit, with peak time flow fully canceled.

This series of intensive product updates and computing expansion continues to elevate ANTHROPIC’s future IPO valuation expectations and serves as a fundamental confidence source for secondary market investors to remain bullish.

How to Trade ANTHROPIC on Gate TradFi?

For ordinary investors, investing in a private company valued near $1 trillion was almost impossible to access before. ANTHROPIC’s early shares have been long locked by strategic investors like Amazon and Google, with extremely limited circulating supply, making it difficult for retail investors to participate in the primary market.

Now, Gate is opening this long-sealed door through the TradFi sector.

Gate TradFi is a comprehensive traditional financial asset trading platform launched by Gate in January 2026, covering CFD contracts, perpetual swaps, and spot tokens.

Most notably, Gate has launched Pre-IPO perpetual contracts and tokenized assets for top unlisted tech companies like ANTHROPIC, OPENAI, SpaceX, supporting 1-10x leverage for long and short positions.

Summary

ANTHROPIC is in its strongest growth phase since inception. According to Gate TradFi market data, as of May 9, ANTHROPIC’s price is $1,640, with a 27% increase in 24 hours, and since mid-April on Gate, the total increase has exceeded 100%. The positive factors are not just hype from single dimensions: near trillion-dollar valuation financing expectations, annualized revenue soaring from $9 billion to $44 billion, enterprise market share surpassing OPENAI, intensive product upgrades, and substantial easing of computing bottlenecks through deep cooperation with SpaceX and Google—fundamentals and sentiment are resonating, driving the prices of Pre-IPO assets in the secondary market higher and higher.

For ordinary investors unable to participate in the primary market, Gate TradFi offers an unprecedented convenient investment path. Through Gate’s Pre-IPO perpetual contracts and tokenized assets, users can directly leverage crypto assets to position themselves ahead of ANTHROPIC’s IPO.
