Anthropic's Revenue Reportedly Doubles OpenAI's

Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate surged to over $19 billion recently, a dramatic climb from $9 billion at the end of 2025 and just $100 million in 2023. This growth is largely fueled by enterprise adoption, with 80% of revenue coming from business clients and the number of customers paying over $1 million annually jumping from a dozen to over 500 in two years. A key driver of this enterprise trust is Anthropic's suite of compliance and security features. The company has achieved ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications for information security and AI management, is SOC 2 compliant, and offers HIPAA-ready configurations. For businesses with strict data requirements, Anthropic provides a zero-data-retention option, ensuring that customer data is not used for model training and is immediately discarded after use. The company's coding product, Claude Code, has been a standout success, reaching an annualized revenue of over $2.5 billion within nine months of its public launch in May 2025. Enterprise subscriptions for Claude Code quadrupled in early 2026, and it now accounts for over half of the product's total revenue, with major companies like GitLab and DuckDuckGo listed as customers. This focus on safety was recently tested in a high-profile dispute with the Pentagon. Anthropic refused to remove safeguards that prevent its AI from being used for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, leading the Department of Defense to designate the firm a "supply chain risk." Despite the potential loss of government contracts, Anthropic maintained its ethical stance, a move that resonated with its brand identity.
