Anthropic is now being discussed at roughly an $800 billion valuation, less than 10 weeks after its last funding round priced it at $380 billion. (bloomberg.com) (anthropic.com) Bloomberg reported on April 14 that investors were offering to back Anthropic at $800 billion, more than double the $350 billion pre-money valuation tied to its February raise. Anthropic said on February 12 that the round brought in $30 billion and valued the company at $380 billion post-money. (bloomberg.com) (anthropic.com) The repricing followed a sharp jump in sales. Bloomberg reported on April 6 that Anthropic’s annualized revenue run rate had topped $30 billion, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025, and that more than 1,000 business customers were spending over $1 million a year. (bloomberg.com) Anthropic has pushed hardest into corporate uses for artificial intelligence, especially coding tools sold through Claude and Claude Code. Reuters reported in February that the company had differentiated itself by focusing model training on coding, helping it gain traction in the enterprise market. (reuters.com) That growth has also pulled in more infrastructure partners. Anthropic said on April 6 that it was expanding work with Google Cloud and Broadcom while keeping Amazon Web Services as its primary cloud provider and training partner. (anthropic.com) The valuation talk is no longer confined to venture firms. CNBC and the Associated Press reported that Chief of Staff Susie Wiles met Anthropic chief executive Dario Amodei at the White House on April 17 to discuss the company’s new Mythos model, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent also present, according to CNBC. (cnbc.com) (yahoo.com) Secondary-market demand has added to the frenzy. Bloomberg reported on April 1 that investors were pivoting toward Anthropic shares and away from OpenAI in private trading, and separate reports said some secondary transactions briefly implied a valuation near $1 trillion. (bloomberg.com) (voice.lapaas.com) Anthropic has not publicly announced an $800 billion or $1 trillion valuation, and Bloomberg said it was not clear the company would accept the new investor terms. For now, the clearest hard numbers are the February financing at $380 billion and the April revenue run rate above $30 billion. (bloomberg.com) (anthropic.com)
