Anthropic said it has raised $30 billion in a Series G funding round, putting the Claude maker at a $380 billion post-money valuation and highlighting continued investor appetite for enterprise-focused artificial intelligence.
The company said the new capital will be used to support frontier research, product development, and major infrastructure expansion tied to its push in enterprise AI and coding tools such as Claude Code.
Who led the Series G
Anthropic said the Series G was led by GIC and Coatue, and co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX.
Anthropic also listed a broad group of participants, including firms such as Accel, Sequoia Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Fidelity Management & Research Company, Temasek, Qatar Investment Authority, and others.
The company said the round included a portion of previously announced investments from Microsoft and NVIDIA.
What Anthropic says is driving demand
Anthropic said it has been less than three years since it first generated revenue and that its current run-rate revenue is $14 billion, with run-rate revenue growing more than 10x annually in each of the past three years.
The company said the number of customers spending over $100,000 annually on Claude has increased sevenfold over the past year, and that more than 500 customers now spend over $1 million on an annualized basis.
Anthropic also said eight of the Fortune 10 are now Claude customers.
Business Times reported that Anthropic has differentiated itself by concentrating model training on coding, and said Claude Code has gained traction with developers as the company competes for enterprise AI adoption.
Claude Code, Cowork, and new model claims
Anthropic said Claude Code became generally available in May 2025 and that Claude Code’s run-rate revenue has grown to more than $2.5 billion, more than doubling since the beginning of 2026.
Anthropic said business subscriptions to Claude Code have quadrupled since the start of 2026, and that enterprise use now represents over half of Claude Code revenue.
The company said that in January it launched more than 30 products and features, including Cowork, and that Cowork includes 11 open-source plugins designed to help customers tailor Claude to specific roles such as sales, legal, or finance.
Business Times reported that Anthropic’s recently launched plugin series for its Cowork agent sparked a “brutal selloff” in global software stocks as investors debated how disruptive advanced AI models could be for the sector.
Anthropic said its newest model, Opus 4.6, launched “last week” and can power agents that generate documents, spreadsheets, and presentations.
Infrastructure, cloud reach, and regulation stance
Anthropic said it is expanding infrastructure as it works to make Claude available where customers operate, and said Claude is available on Amazon Web Services (Bedrock), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), and Microsoft Azure (Foundry).
Anthropic said it trains and runs Claude across multiple hardware platforms, including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs.
Business Times reported that while many tech companies have pushed for less regulation, Anthropic has drawn up plans to donate $20 million to support U.S. political candidates who favor regulating the AI industry.
Business Times also reported Anthropic’s statement: “The companies building AI have a responsibility to help ensure the technology serves the public good, not just their own interests.”
Crunchbase News described the financing as the largest venture funding deal of 2026 so far and the second-largest of all time in Crunchbase data, trailing OpenAI’s $40 billion funding round in 2025.
Crunchbase News also said Anthropic has raised nearly $64 billion since its 2021 inception and called it the second-most highly valued generative AI startup behind OpenAI, which it said secured financing at a $500 billion valuation in October.
