Overview
- The round was co-led by Singapore’s GIC and Coatue with participation from D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ and MGX, and it includes portions of previously announced commitments from Microsoft and Nvidia.
- Anthropic reported a $14 billion annualized revenue run-rate, driven largely by enterprises, with Claude Code generating about $2.5 billion and business subscriptions quadrupling since the start of the year.
- Recent product launches — including the Claude Opus 4.6 model and the Claude Cowork agent — are boosting coding and knowledge‑work use cases and have been cited by outlets as contributing to pressure on traditional software stocks.
- The financing ranks as one of the largest private tech rounds to date, second only to OpenAI’s roughly $40 billion raise, as overlapping investor bases increasingly back competing AI labs.
- Following the announcement, Elon Musk publicly accused Anthropic’s AI of bias on X, a claim reported by multiple outlets that the company had not addressed in their coverage.
