Anthropic AI recently raised $30 billion from a group of financial backers. This move saw the value of the company hit $380 billion post‑investment.
The long-rumoured round was co-led by D E Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Peter Thiel-owned Founders Fund, Iconiq, and Abu Dhabi-based investment company MGX. Additional investors are Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Qatar Investment Authority and Menlo Ventures.
The round also includes a portion of a previously announced investment of $15 billion by Microsoft and Nvidia, which was announced in November 2025.
CFO Krishna Rao stated demand for the company’s Claude chatbot continues to surge as enterprises adopt it for critical business operations.
Five years after the company was founded by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic’s run‑rate revenue has reached $14 billion, growing more than ten times annually for the past three years following the launch of Claude.
Anthropic rolled out more than 30 new products in January 2026, including Cowork, and expanded into healthcare and life sciences with HIPAA‑compliant enterprise offerings.
The AI start-up also announced on the 12th of February 2026 it will donate $20 million to Public First Action, a political group which opposes efforts by the administration of President Donald Trump to provide AI governance at the federal level.
Funded and led both by Republican and Democratic strategists, Anthropic stated the group works across party lines to support policies on AI governance.
