Overview
- Anthropic has agreed terms for a $30 billion funding round at roughly a $900 billion pre-money valuation, according to the Financial Times, and the deal has not been formally announced.
- The valuation would place Anthropic above OpenAI’s recent approximately $852 billion mark if the round closes on the agreed terms.
- Dragoneer Investment Group, Greenoaks Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter Capital are co-leading the deal, with each expected to invest at least $2 billion.
- Reported annualized revenue jumped from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than $30 billion in April 2026, with projections near $45 billion soon as corporate use of the Claude AI assistant accelerates.
- The process moved in a matter of weeks after investors approached the company last month, with CFO Krishna Rao testing demand following February’s Series G that valued Anthropic around $380 billion.
