Anthropic has raised $30 billion in its latest funding round, bringing its valuation to $380 billion. This Series G funding was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX. It also included a portion of previously announced investments from Microsoft and Nvidia. The AI company says it will use the funding to frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansions.
Anthropic has gained attention for its focus on AI coding, with Claude Code gaining strong traction among developers, and giving the company an edge over its competitors in the enterprise AI market.
“Whether it is entrepreneurs, startups, or the world’s largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work,” said Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s Chief Financial Officer. “This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers, and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-grade products and models they have come to depend on.”

“Since our initial investment in 2025, Anthropic’s focus on agentic coding and enterprise-grade AI systems has accelerated its progress toward large-scale adoption,” said Philippe Laffont, Founder & Portfolio Manager of Coatue. “The team’s ability to rapidly scale its offerings further positions Anthropic as a leader in a highly competitive AI market.”
According to a Reuters report, Anthropic has built its revenue base rapidly, with its stated annual revenue rate being $14 billion. For Claude Code alone, the run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion, more than doubling since the beginning of 2026. Business subscriptions to Claude Code have quadrupled since the start of the year, with enterprise use now representing over half of all Claude Code revenue, according to the company.

Anthropic has also notably taken a different approach to AI regulation compared to its competitors. While tech companies have pushed for less regulation, Anthropic has drawn up plans to donate $20 million to back U.S. political candidates who support regulating the AI industry. “The companies building AI have a responsibility to help ensure the technology serves the public good, not just their own interests,” Anthropic had said separately earlier on Thursday.
Meanwhile, competitor OpenAI is also engaged in fundraising talks with investors for a round that could close at around $100 billion, as CNBC previously reported. The company has to pad its cash position after entering $1.4 trillion worth of infrastructure deals last year.
