Anthropic said on February 12 that it raised $30 billion in Series G funding at a $380 billion post-money valuation, in one of the largest private financings ever completed by a technology company. GIC and Coatue led the round, Anthropic said, and the company named Qatar Investment Authority and Temasek among the participating investors. The financing gives a documented basis for a funding thread that had pointed to sovereign wealth fund involvement across the top U.S. artificial intelligence companies. Anthropic said the round would fund research, product development and infrastructure expansion. ### Which sovereign funds can be verified in Anthropic’s new round? Anthropic named Singapore’s GIC, Qatar Investment Authority and Singapore’s Temasek in its February 12 announcement of the Series G financing. The company also said the round was led by GIC and Coatue, and co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ and MGX. (anthropic.com) GIC separately said on February 13 that its investment built on a prior position in Anthropic’s $13 billion Series F. Anthropic’s own release listed QIA and Temasek among “significant investors,” but it did not identify Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund or Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala as participants in the Series G round. ### How does this connect to Anthropic’s earlier funding? (anthropic.com) QIA had already disclosed an Anthropic investment on September 2, 2025, when it said it participated in the company’s $13 billion Series F financing. That round valued Anthropic at $183 billion post-money and also included GIC, according to QIA’s statement. GIC said its February 2026 investment “builds upon” its stake in the Series F round. (anthropic.com) Anthropic’s valuation therefore rose from $183 billion in September 2025 to $380 billion in February 2026, based on the company’s two financing announcements. ### Did Temasek also back OpenAI? OpenAI said on March 31, 2026, that Temasek participated in its $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion post-money valuation. (qia.qa) OpenAI said the round was anchored by Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank, with SoftBank co-leading alongside a16z, D. E. Shaw Ventures, MGX, TPG and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Associates. OpenAI listed Temasek among a broader group of participating institutions. (gic.com.sg) That confirms one part of the cross-fund pattern in the funding thread: Temasek appeared in OpenAI’s round, while GIC, QIA and Temasek appeared in Anthropic’s. ### What did Anthropic say the money will be used for? Anthropic said the $30 billion would support frontier research, enterprise product development and infrastructure expansion. (openai.com) Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao said customer demand was driving the fundraising and said Claude was becoming critical to how businesses work. (anthropic.com) Anthropic also disclosed operating metrics alongside the financing. The company said run-rate revenue had reached $14 billion, customers spending more than $100,000 annually on Claude had grown sevenfold in the past year, and the number of customers spending more than $1 million annually had risen to more than 500 from about a dozen two years earlier. (anthropic.com) ### Which claims in the original funding thread remain unverified? Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala do not appear in the Anthropic Series G investor list published by Anthropic or GIC. The materials reviewed also do not show either fund in OpenAI’s March 31 investor list. Anthropic did say its Series G round included a portion of previously announced investments from Microsoft and Nvidia. (anthropic.com) CNBC, citing Anthropic’s release, reported that Microsoft and Nvidia had previously said they planned to commit up to $5 billion and up to $10 billion, respectively. March 31 is the next concrete marker in the funding chain because OpenAI’s investor list is public from that date and includes Temasek. (anthropic.com) Anthropic’s February 12 release and GIC’s February 13 statement remain the primary public records for the sovereign fund participants that can be verified in Anthropic’s $30 billion round.
