Anthropic raises $30bn in latest round, valuing Claude bot maker at $380bn

AI company Anthropic raised $30 billion in funding, increasing its valuation to $380 billion, highlighting a surge in artificial intelligence investments.

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence firm, announced on Thursday the successful raising of $30 billion in its latest funding round, pushing its valuation to a staggering $380 billion. This funding round is notable for being one of the largest private fundraising deals on record, led by the Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC and hedge fund Coatue Management. The significant increase in valuation from the company’s previous funding round five months ago, which valued it at $183 billion, emphasizes the rapid growth and investor confidence in AI technologies.

The remarkable growth of Anthropic has been predominantly driven by its increased revenue, which has reached an annualized $14 billion, showing more than a tenfold increase over the past three years. The successful deployment of Claude Code, an AI-powered coding tool made generally available in May 2025, has significantly contributed to the company's recent performance. Choo Yong Cheen, the chief investment officer at GIC, stated that Anthropic is a clear leader in the enterprise AI space, reinforcing the company's prominent position in a competitive market that includes rivals like OpenAI.

This latest funding underscores a broader trend of considerable investments in artificial intelligence, reflecting the sector's potential and the high valuation assigned to companies offering innovative solutions. With artificial intelligence's rapid advancement and increasing integration into various industries, companies like Anthropic continue to attract significant financial backing, indicating strong future prospects and ongoing market evolution.
