Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has secured $30 billion in a massive Series G funding round, propelling its post-money valuation to $380 billion. The announcement, made on Thursday, marks a significant milestone for the company as it solidifies its position as a leader in the competitive enterprise AI market. This latest capital injection represents a substantial leap from its previous Series F valuation of $183 billion.
The funding round was led by the Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue. Several other prominent firms co-led the deal, including D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX. The massive influx of capital is set to fuel Anthropic’s frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansion.
A Broad Coalition of Investors
Beyond the lead investors, the round attracted participation from a vast array of financial heavyweights. Significant contributions came from Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street, the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Sequoia Capital, and funds affiliated with BlackRock and Blackstone. The round also included a portion of previously announced investments from strategic partners Microsoft and NVIDIA.
Philippe Laffont, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Coatue, highlighted the strategic importance of the investment. He noted that Anthropic’s focus on agentic coding and enterprise-grade AI systems has accelerated its progress toward large-scale adoption. Laffont added that the team’s ability to rapidly scale its offerings positions the company as a leader in a highly competitive market.
Choo Yong Cheen, Chief Investment Officer of Private Equity at GIC, echoed these sentiments, describing Anthropic as the “clear category leader in enterprise AI.” He emphasized that the company is setting new standards for safety, performance, and scale that will drive its long-term success.
Rapid Financial Growth and Enterprise Adoption
The funding news comes alongside the revelation of striking financial metrics. Anthropic reported that its run-rate revenue has hit $14 billion. This figure is particularly notable given that the company earned its first dollar of revenue less than three years ago. According to the company, this run-rate figure has grown over 10 times annually for each of the past three years.
This explosive growth is driven by heavy adoption among large enterprises. The number of customers spending more than $100,000 annually on Anthropic’s Claude platform has grown sevenfold in the past year. Furthermore, the number of clients spending over $1 million annually has surged from just a dozen two years ago to more than 500 today. The company also noted that eight of the Fortune 10 companies are now customers.
Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s Chief Financial Officer, stated that the message from customers—ranging from startups to the world’s largest enterprises—is consistent. “Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work,” Rao said. He affirmed that the new funds would be used to build the enterprise-grade products and models that these customers depend on.
Advancements in AI Models and Coding
A major driver of this growth is Claude Code, a tool designed for “agentic coding” that changes how software teams build applications. Since becoming available to the general public in May 2025, Claude Code has seen rapid uptake. Its run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion, a figure that has more than doubled since the beginning of 2026 alone. Additionally, business subscriptions to the tool have quadrupled since the start of the year.
The company claims that Claude Code is now responsible for a significant portion of global software development. A recent analysis estimated that 4% of all public commits on GitHub worldwide are authored by Claude Code, a percentage that doubled in just one month.
Anthropic also highlighted its rapid pace of product innovation. In January alone, the company launched more than thirty products and features. This includes “Cowork,” a feature that extends Claude Code’s engineering capabilities to broader knowledge work tasks. The release included open-source plugins allowing customers to tailor Claude for specific roles in sales, legal, and finance.
Technological advancements continue with the launch of the company’s newest model, Opus 4.6. Released last week, this model is designed to power agents capable of managing entire categories of real-world work, such as generating professional documents and spreadsheets. The company states that Opus 4.6 is currently the world’s leading model on GDPval-AA, a benchmark measuring performance on economically valuable tasks in finance and other domains.
Infrastructure and Cloud Availability
The Series G capital will also support the infrastructure required to run these powerful models. Anthropic emphasized that Claude remains the only frontier AI model available on all three major cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (Bedrock), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), and Microsoft Azure (Foundry).
To ensure performance and resilience, the company trains and runs its models on a diverse range of hardware, including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs. This approach allows Anthropic to match specific workloads to the chips best suited for them, translating to better reliability for enterprise customers executing critical work.
