OpenAI is laying the groundwork for what could become one of the largest IPOs in market history, with reports suggesting a potential debut in late 2026 or 2027. The company remains privately held, but its push to scale AI infrastructure will require substantial capital. CFO Sarah Friar has pointed to 2027 as a likely timeline, and early estimates indicate an offering that could raise tens of billions of dollars — potentially around $60B — with valuations speculated to reach as high as $1T.
3. Anthropic
Anthropic is reportedly laying the groundwork for a possible IPO as early as 2026, though no formal timeline has been set. The company has not announced plans to list and has reportedly said it has “made no decisions about when or even whether to go public.”
The digital payments company was among the most anticipated IPOs of 2025, but the year passed without progress. Investors still expect a public debut in the near term, though co founders Patrick and John Collison have signaled they are in no hurry to take the company public.

The ride hailing and food delivery company has yet to file for an IPO, but a 2026 debut remains a possibility. Reports earlier this year suggested Bolt was actively preparing for a listing.

8. Kraken
The U.S. crypto exchange Kraken is reportedly targeting a U.S. stock market debut as early as the first quarter of 2026, positioning itself alongside publicly traded crypto platforms such as Coinbase (COIN), Gemini, and Bullish.
