Anthropic, a tech firm known for its Claude chatbot, has successfully secured $30 billion in a recent Series G funding round, significantly boosting its valuation to $380 billion, more than double its previous value. Leading the round were Singapore’s GIC and Coatue, with additional key contributors such as D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX. Noteworthy participants included Blackstone, Fidelity, Sequoia Capital, and the Qatar Investment Authority, in addition to prior investors Microsoft and Nvidia.
This substantial funding injection is earmarked for advancing cutting-edge research, enhancing product development, and expanding infrastructure. Anthropic proudly announced an impressive annual run-rate revenue of $14 billion, with the Claude Code platform alone raking in over $2.5 billion. The company further revealed a remarkable fourfold increase in business subscriptions for the coding tool since the beginning of 2026.
The investment landscape is abuzz with AI fervor, with reports suggesting that competitor OpenAI is in discussions that could potentially value the firm at a staggering $830 billion. Anthropic’s recent introduction of its Cowork AI agent, designed to automate computer tasks, sent ripples through the software sector, prompting concerns about potential disruptions and leading to sell-offs in software stocks.
