The AI giant announced a revenue level of $14bn – up from $0 three years ago, and $9bn two months ago.
Anthropic has announced a $30bn Series G funding round led by Coatue Management and Singapore’s GIC at a post-cash value of $380bn. The price increase is more than double the last round announced in September.
Series G was co-led by DE Shaw Ventures; Dragoneer; Founders Fund; Iconiq; and Abu Dhabi-based MGX, an AI investment firm with close ties to the United Arab Emirates’ political class. MGX recently took a 15pc ownership of TikTok’s US business and funded xAI in a $20bn Series E round shortly before it was acquired by SpaceX.
Other big-name investors participated in the round, including Accel; Bessemer Venture Partners; Black Rock; Credibility Management and Research Company; Growth Equity at Goldman Sachs Alternatives; Lightspeed Venture Partners; Qatar Investment Authority; and Sequoia Capital, among others.
While Anthropic did not provide details on individual investor commitments, Bloomberg reported last month that lead investors GIC and Coattue will contribute around $1.5bn, while Iconiq will contribute around $1bn.
The Series G also includes parts of the previously announced $15 billion in Microsoft and Nvidia bonds, Anthropic said.
The company wants to use these funds to fuel AI research, develop products and expand its infrastructure. Claude is currently the only boundary AI model available on the three major cloud platforms, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure.
The round comes as the AI giant hit an estimated revenue of $14bn – up from $0 three years ago, and almost $9bn in the past two months.
Anthropic has established itself as the choice for enterprise coding in a market full of options ranging from OpenAI to Microsoft’s Copilot.
According to the company, the number of customers who spend more than $100,000 a year on Claude has increased seven times in the past year, and more than 500 spend more than $1m every year.
Claude Code’s revenue alone has grown to more than $2.5bn, more than doubling in value since the start of the year. The company launched ‘Cowork’ in January, a product developed entirely by Claude Code, designed to be a lighter version of its predecessor. The launch received a positive response from users.
Meanwhile, Claude for Healthcare was launched shortly after competitor OpenAI released a copy of the privacy-preserving tool for medical queries.
“Whether they are entrepreneurs, startups, or the largest enterprises in the world, the message from our customers is the same – Claude is becoming more and more serious about how businesses work,” said Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s chief financial officer.
“This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we’re seeing from these customers, and we’ll use this investment to continue building the enterprise-class products and models they’ve come to rely on.”
The company also launched its latest AI model, Opus 4.6, earlier this month. The model, according to the company, can handle real-world workflows, generating documents, spreadsheets and presentations.
Performance Analysis tests put Opus 4.6 at the top of the chart for better performance than OpenAI’s GPT 5.2 while being cheaper.
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise up to $100bn at a $750bn valuation. The company is currently valued at $500bn. Its revenue is expected to exceed $20bn by the end of 2025.
Both OpenAI and Anthropic have said they are interested in filing for initial public offerings (IPOs).
