Anthropic Raises $30B Series G at $380B Valuation
Overview
Anthropic announced a $30 billion Series G funding round on February 12, valuing the company at $380 billion — more than doubling its previous Series F valuation of $183 billion.
Lead Investors
Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue led the round, with D. E. Shaw Ventures, Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, and Abu Dhabi's MGX co-leading. Other significant investors include Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street, and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA).
Growth Metrics
The company's run-rate revenue is $14 billion, growing over 10x annually in each of the past three years, according to Anthropic's announcement. This represents one of the fastest growth trajectories in the AI industry.
Industry Context
The round is the second-biggest private financing in tech history, following OpenAI's $40+ billion raise last year. The massive capital influx reflects intensifying competition among AI companies to secure resources for GPU infrastructure and model development.
Anthropic recently launched Claude Opus 4.6, outperforming OpenAI's GPT-5.2 on knowledge work benchmarks, and publicly committed to keeping Claude ad-free, differentiating itself from OpenAI's recent move to test ads in ChatGPT.
