Anthropic Valued at $380 Billion
AI company Anthropic has reached a valuation of $380 billion following its Series G funding round, according to a pre-market update from the New York Stock Exchange. The new valuation establishes the company as one of the most valuable players in the artificial intelligence sector.
- The $30 billion Series G funding round was led by GIC and Coatue, with participation from D.E. Shaw & Co. Ventures, Founders Fund, and existing investors like Microsoft and Nvidia. This marks the second-largest venture funding deal of all time, following OpenAI's $40 billion round in 2025. - Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former senior members of OpenAI, including CEO Dario Amodei and President Daniela Amodei, who left due to differences in direction regarding AI safety. The company is structured as a public benefit corporation with a focus on developing safe and steerable AI systems. - The new valuation represents a rapid increase from its previous funding rounds, having been valued at $183 billion in September 2025 and $61.5 billion in March 2025. - The company's annualized revenue run rate has reached $14 billion, a figure that has grown over 10 times annually for the past three years since it first generated revenue. The number of customers spending over $100,000 annually has grown sevenfold in the past year. - A significant driver of its enterprise adoption is "Claude Code," a coding assistant that has seen its weekly active users double since the beginning of 2026 and now accounts for a run-rate revenue of over $2.5 billion. - Anthropic's technical approach is centered on "Constitutional AI," a framework designed to align AI systems with human values by training them to adhere to a set of principles, making the models more predictable and safer for enterprise use cases in regulated industries. - This valuation places Anthropic as the second-most valuable generative AI startup, behind rival OpenAI, which was valued at $500 billion in October 2025. - Strategic partnerships are a core part of its growth, with Amazon investing a total of $4 billion and Google investing $2 billion, and Anthropic using both AWS and Google Cloud as primary cloud providers.
