Anthropic reported third quarter 2025 revenue of $16.8 billion at a pre-IPO investor briefing held 14 October 2025.[^1]

Revenue increased 50% from the $11.5 billion recorded in the second quarter.[^2]

The firm stated it achieved adjusted operating profit for the second consecutive quarter in the period.[^3]

Anthropic generated $1.70 in revenue for every $1 spent on computing power during the quarter. That marked a large improvement from the $0.63 ratio recorded earlier in 2025.[^4]

This appears to be a material shift in unit economics for a large foundation model operator.
