If you missed ANTHROPIC over the past two months, you may have overlooked one of the most explosive assets in the AI sector.
According to Gate TradFi market data, as of May 9, 2026, ANTHROPIC is quoted at $1,640 on the Gate platform. Over the past 24 hours, the price has surged by 27%, demonstrating strong buying momentum. Even more striking, since its official launch on Gate TradFi’s pre-listing market in mid-April 2026, ANTHROPIC has gained over 100%—meaning if you entered during the first week, your returns have doubled in less than two months.
This round of price acceleration is set against a backdrop of bullish news releases ahead of the company’s IPO. On May 8, the Financial Times reported that ANTHROPIC is actively considering a new round of large-scale fundraising in summer 2026, aiming for a pre-money valuation of $900 billion and planning to raise up to $50 billion. If successful, ANTHROPIC’s post-money valuation will break past $1 trillion, surpassing OPENAI (post-money valuation of $852 billion after its March raise), making it the world’s highest-valued private AI company. According to the Financial Times and relevant Pre-IPOs trading platforms, ANTHROPIC’s latest valuation in May 2026 has been pushed to $1.2 trillion.
For retail investors, the numbers from the primary market are less relevant than the action on Gate TradFi’s blazing secondary market: an asset listed only since mid-April has doubled in price in less than a month, and speculative sentiment is rapidly aligning with fundamental narratives.
Behind the Price: Explosive Revenue Growth and a Clearer Profit Model
The price surge isn’t just driven by sentiment.
ANTHROPIC’s revenue curve is remarkably steep. At the end of 2025, its annualized revenue was just $9 billion. By February 2026, it had jumped to $14 billion. In March, it neared $19 billion, and by early May, it had surpassed $44 billion—nearly a fivefold increase in less than five months. Venture capitalists call this "a growth rate unprecedented in software industry history."
The absolute driver of this growth is Claude Code—a developer-focused AI programming tool. ANTHROPIC CEO Dario Amodei revealed that Claude Code grew 80-fold in Q1 2026, with annualized revenue reaching $2.5 billion. Currently, about 4% of all code publicly submitted to GitHub worldwide is generated or assisted by Claude Code.
On the enterprise side, ANTHROPIC’s performance is equally impressive. Its enterprise AI market share has soared from about 10% at the start of 2025 to over 65% by February 2026, rapidly overtaking OPENAI. More than 80% of its revenue comes from enterprise clients, and the number of customers paying annual fees over $1 million has shot up from 500 to over 1,000 in just two months.
While OPENAI struggles with "revenue growth without profit," ANTHROPIC’s training costs are only one-quarter of OPENAI’s. Its inference gross margin has jumped from 38% a year ago to over 70%, showcasing superior profitability and management capabilities. This lays a solid foundation of trust for its trillion-dollar valuation.
Product Matrix Upgrades: Claude Agents Learn to "Dream," Wall Street Faces Financial AI Disruption
If the revenue figures prove ANTHROPIC’s commercialization power, its recent product launches reveal its true technical ambition.
Between May 5 and May 6, ANTHROPIC delivered two major breakthroughs in just two days:
First punch: 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. These agents can independently prepare client presentation materials, automatically review financial statements, build financial models, detect compliance risks, and directly trigger review processes. They are deeply integrated into everyday office software like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Following the announcement, US financial data provider FactSet’s stock dropped over 8% intraday, and Morningstar fell nearly 3%—capital markets responded precisely to the AI-driven restructuring of financial industry profit distribution.
Second punch: teaching AI agents to truly "dream." At the May 6 CODE WITH CLAUDE developer conference, ANTHROPIC unveiled three core new features: Dreaming, Outcomes, and Multiagent Orchestration. Dreaming enables AI to regularly review past conversation logs, identify patterns, and automatically update its memory, giving it the ability to learn and self-reflect across sessions. Internal tests showed that after Harvey legal platform integrated Dreaming, document completion rates increased by about six times. Outcomes provides developers with a framework to define success criteria, with an independent evaluation subsystem that judges whether results meet standards and can automatically iterate for optimization.
Additionally, the compute bottleneck has been substantially alleviated. ANTHROPIC announced it is taking over all compute resources from SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data center, adding 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs (including H100, H200, and GB200), with integration completed in 30 days. This instantly doubled the five-hour rolling usage limit for Claude Code and completely removed peak period restrictions.
This series of intensive product updates and compute expansion is raising expectations for ANTHROPIC’s future IPO pricing and is a fundamental source of confidence for secondary market investors.
How Can You Trade ANTHROPIC on Gate TradFi?
For ordinary investors, investing in a nearly $1 trillion private company was once an almost unreachable goal.
