Anthropic has closed a staggering $30 billion Series G funding round, valuing the AI safety company at $380 billion — making it the most valuable private AI company in the world, surpassing OpenAI's last known private valuation.
The round was co-led by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and investment firm Coatue Management, with significant participation from existing investors including Google, Spark Capital, and Salesforce Ventures. New investors in this round include Abu Dhabi's Mubadala Investment Company and Tiger Global.
The massive raise comes at a critical inflection point for Anthropic. The company's Claude Opus 4.6 model, released on February 5, sent shockwaves through the software industry when it demonstrated unprecedented autonomous coding capabilities, causing notable drops in software company stock prices.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei outlined how the funding will be deployed:
$12 billion toward training next-generation models, including the anticipated Claude 5 family
$8 billion for scaling compute infrastructure, including custom chip partnerships
$5 billion for enterprise expansion, primarily the Claude Cowork platform
$3 billion for safety research, interpretability tools, and alignment work
$2 billion for talent acquisition and international expansion
The company's revenue trajectory has been remarkable. Anthropic is reportedly generating over $4 billion in annualized revenue as of early 2026, up from approximately $900 million a year ago. Enterprise contracts now represent over 60% of revenue, with major customers including Amazon (AWS Bedrock), Notion, DuckDuckGo, and hundreds of Fortune 500 companies.
Analysts note that the $380 billion valuation implies roughly 95x forward revenue — aggressive even by AI standards — but reflects the market's belief that Anthropic's safety-first approach and technical capabilities position it to capture a significant share of the projected $500 billion enterprise AI market by 2028.
The funding also accelerates Anthropic's hiring plans. The company currently employs roughly 1,800 people and plans to grow to 3,000 by end of 2026, with particular focus on ML researchers, safety engineers, and enterprise sales teams across North America, Europe, and Asia.
