The most significant recent news in the AI deals and IPO segment is that Anthropic officially filed a confidential application (draft S-1) with the SEC on June 1, 2026, becoming the first major AI lab to formally begin the process of going public [1]. The exact listing timeline, offering price, and exchange have not yet been determined, but this event marks a transition from expectations to a real IPO process for leading market players [1].

Unlike previous reviews that focused on general expectations for OpenAI and SpaceX, this angle highlights Anthropic's specific legal action, which changes market dynamics: the IPO process is now not just a forecast, but a fact for one of the key companies [1]. Analysts note that this could trigger a wave of listings among other AI startups in 2026–2027, including OpenAI, Databricks, and ConsenSys [1].

In recent weeks, there has been increased activity surrounding potential IPOs of major players in the artificial intelligence sphere. OpenAI and Anthropic are accelerating preparations for their stock market debut, fearing a possible cooling of investor interest in the AI sector. According to Bloomberg, some Chinese hedge funds are warning of a "superbubble" in the AI company stock market, adding to the tension.

Against this backdrop, OpenAI is considering transferring up to 5% of its shares to the U.S. government, which could be part of a broader initiative to create a "public sovereign wealth fund" to distribute the benefits of the AI economy's growth. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly discussing this idea with high-ranking U.S. officials, including Donald Trump.

In parallel, South Korean company SK Hynix plans to conduct an IPO on the U.S. stock market worth $29 billion, which could become the largest IPO of a foreign company in history. This move aims to capitalize on the booming growth of the artificial intelligence computing sector and provide U.S. investors with direct access to shares of the memory chip manufacturer.

On July 1, 2026, Abu Dhabi's investment fund MGX closed its first fund at $49 billion, exceeding its target of $45 billion. The funds will be directed towards investments in semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and platforms. 14 deals have already been made involving investors from the Persian Gulf, North America, Asia, and Europe.

This is one of the largest specialized AI funds in recent years and a prime example of how Middle Eastern capital is actively entering the race for dominance in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
