Anthropic Raises $30 Billion as AI Investment Frenzy Continues

Anthropic has closed a $30 billion funding round that establishes a new valuation of $380 billion for the Claude chatbot developer. The investment represents a dramatic escalation from the company’s $183 billion valuation achieved just five months earlier in September.
The record-breaking fundraising effort was led by two major institutional investors: GIC, the Singapore sovereign wealth fund, and Coatue Management. The deal ranks among the largest private capital raises ever recorded, reflecting the enormous capital requirements and potential returns in the AI sector.
Revenue performance has been exceptional, with the company reporting $14 billion in annualized revenue. Anthropic has maintained tenfold revenue growth annually for three consecutive years, demonstrating both product-market fit and scalable business operations.
The May 2025 launch of Claude Code for general availability has significantly contributed to recent revenue growth. This AI-powered coding assistant has found strong adoption among enterprise customers seeking to leverage artificial intelligence for software development tasks.
Market observers note that the massive valuations being assigned to AI companies like Anthropic and its rival OpenAI exceed those of many established Fortune 500 companies. Founded in 2021 by Dario and Daniela Amodei, former OpenAI executives, Anthropic has carved out a distinctive position as a safety-focused alternative in the competitive AI landscape.
