Trader consensus on Polymarket reflects near-certain implied probability (97.7%) that Anthropic will remain independent through 2026, driven by its explosive growth trajectory and strategic choices affirming autonomy. In recent months, the AI lab—best known for its Claude large language models—secured a $30 billion funding round at a $380 billion valuation in February 2026, drawing VC bids up to $800 billion that it reportedly rejected, while pursuing an initial public offering (IPO) as early as late 2026. Anthropic has positioned itself as the acquirer, snapping up biotech startup Coefficient Bio for $400 million in April and developer tools firm Bun late last year, bolstered by massive revenue run rates projected at $26-30 billion for 2026 amid partnerships with Amazon and Google that preserve control. While economic shocks, regulatory antitrust scrutiny on Big Tech deals, or a sudden AI market downturn could theoretically force a sale, these barriers appear insurmountable to capital-backed traders with skin in the game.
