Anthropic has raised $30 billion in its latest funding round, more than doubling the Claude chatbot maker's valuation to $380 billion. This latest funding round underscores massive investor interest in the startup and the broader AI industry.
The company has differentiated itself by focusing its model training on coding, and helping the company gain an edge over rivals in the enterprise AI market. Anthropic's recently launched series of plugins for its Cowork agent had sparked a brutal selloff in global software stocks.
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.
“Whether it is entrepreneurs, startups, or the world’s largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work,” said Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s Chief Financial Officer. “This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers, and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-grade products and models they have come to depend on.”
Anthropic has rapidly built its revenue base — the company said its current run-rate revenue is $14 billion. For Claude Code alone, the run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion, more than doubling since the beginning of 2026.
