Anthropic raises $30B in Series G funding at $380B valuation

Anthropic has pulled off one of the largest funding rounds in startup history, raising $30 billion in a Series G that pushes its valuation to $380 billion. The deal comes just weeks after another massive raise, showing how quickly investor appetite for top-tier AI companies is escalating.

The timing stands out. Only a month ago, Anthropic closed a funding round topping $10 billion at a $350 billion valuation. This latest raise goes further, placing the Claude maker among the most valuable private companies on the planet and signaling that late-stage AI financing has entered a new phase.

Investors in the round include D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX. The raise also folds in portions of previously announced backing from Microsoft and Nvidia. In a statement, Anthropic said the capital will support frontier research, product work, and infrastructure, reinforcing its position in enterprise AI and developer-focused tools.

“We have raised $30 billion in Series G funding led by GIC and Coatue, valuing Anthropic at $380 billion post-money. The round was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX. The investment will fuel the frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansions that have made Anthropic the market leader in enterprise AI and coding,” Anthropic said in a news release.

A large part of that momentum comes from coding. Claude Code has gained traction among developers, making Anthropic a serious contender in enterprise environments where reliability and developer trust matter. The company said its overall revenue run rate now sits at $14 billion. Claude Code alone accounts for more than $2.5 billion on a run-rate basis, more than double its level at the start of 2026. Business subscriptions have surged, with enterprise customers now responsible for over half of Claude Code’s revenue.

Anthropic has leaned further into workplace software with products like Claude Cowork, an AI agent built to automate computer-based tasks for knowledge workers. The recent rollout of plugins for Cowork stirred a sharp reaction across public markets, triggering a selloff in global software stocks as investors weighed how advanced AI agents could reshape long-standing software models.

The company’s rise is unfolding against a backdrop of intensifying competition at the top of the AI market. Anthropic counts Google and Amazon among its backers and had raised $13 billion in a Series F round that valued it at $183 billion just months ago. Elsewhere, OpenAI is reported to be in talks with SoftBank Group on a deal that could value the ChatGPT maker at roughly $830 billion, with as much as $30 billion in new capital under discussion.

Anthropic has carved out a distinct stance on policy. As many tech companies lobby for lighter oversight, Anthropic has taken a different path, pledging $20 million to support U.S. political candidates who favor AI regulation. “The companies building AI have a responsibility to help ensure the technology serves the public good, not just their own interests,” the company said earlier this week.

That posture has not slowed investor interest. Reuters reported that Blackstone recently increased its exposure to Anthropic to about $1 billion, adding another heavyweight to the cap table.

Founded in 2021 by Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Jack Clark, Sam McCandlish, and Tom Brown, Anthropic was built around the idea of AI systems that are steerable and interpretable. Daniela Amodei previously led safety and policy work at OpenAI, a background that has shaped Anthropic’s approach as it scales. With $30 billion in fresh capital and a valuation that rivals the largest names in tech, Anthropic now sits at the center of an AI funding wave that shows no sign of slowing.
