Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is reportedly preparing a major secondary share sale that would allow some employees to sell shares at a valuation of at least $350 billion, according to a recent Bloomberg report. The move highlights the soaring investor appetite for leading AI companies as competition intensifies across the sector.
The planned share sale comes as Anthropic is also gearing up for a massive funding round that could raise more than $20 billion. Sources familiar with the matter told Bloomberg that the upcoming funding round is expected to value the company at around $350 billion on a pre-money basis, meaning the valuation does not yet include the fresh capital to be raised. If completed, this would place Anthropic among the most valuable private companies in the world and firmly at the center of the global AI race.
Anthropic has emerged as one of the strongest competitors to OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Its flagship AI assistant, Claude, has gained significant traction among enterprises and developers seeking advanced, safety-focused artificial intelligence solutions. The company’s rapid rise reflects the broader surge in demand for generative AI technologies across industries, from software development to finance and customer service.
Despite its lofty valuation, Anthropic, like many AI startups, has not yet reached profitability. The company is expected to continue burning substantial amounts of cash as it invests heavily in computing infrastructure, data acquisition, and the training of increasingly sophisticated AI models. These costs are driven largely by the need for powerful chips and large-scale cloud resources, which are essential for staying competitive in the fast-evolving AI landscape.
Anthropic’s growth has been supported by backing from several major technology companies, including Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft, and NVIDIA. This strong roster of strategic investors underscores the company’s importance within the AI ecosystem and signals long-term confidence in its technology and vision.
As Wall Street and global investors continue to pour capital into artificial intelligence, Anthropic’s potential $350 billion valuation highlights just how high the stakes have become in the race to lead the next generation of AI innovation.
