AI startup Anthropic is reportedly close to securing a massive $30 billion fundraising deal that would value the company at approximately $900 billion, according to a Financial Times report published Friday. The new valuation would nearly triple the company’s worth compared to just three months ago, highlighting the rapid growth and investor enthusiasm surrounding the artificial intelligence sector.
The funding round is expected to close later this month and is being co-led by major investment firms including Dragoneer Investment Group, Greenoaks Capital, Sequoia Capital, and Altimeter Capital. Sources familiar with the discussions said each lead investor is expected to contribute at least $2 billion as Anthropic continues talks with additional backers to finalize the deal.
Anthropic’s soaring valuation comes as the company experiences explosive revenue growth. The report noted that the AI firm’s annualized revenue is projected to exceed $45 billion soon, marking a sharp increase from the $9 billion recorded at the end of last year. The impressive growth reflects rising global demand for generative AI technologies and advanced large language models.
The latest fundraising would place Anthropic ahead of key competitor OpenAI in valuation terms. OpenAI, one of the most recognized companies in the artificial intelligence industry, was recently valued at around $852 billion. Anthropic’s rapid rise signals intensifying competition among leading AI companies as investors continue pouring billions into the sector.
Founded by former OpenAI researchers, Anthropic has become one of the fastest-growing AI startups worldwide. The company is known for developing advanced AI systems focused on safety and reliability, attracting strong support from both institutional investors and technology partners.
The anticipated deal further underscores the growing confidence in artificial intelligence as one of the most valuable and transformative industries in the global technology market.
