AI giant Anthropic closes a $30bn Series G round and is now valued at $380bn

The new funding round was led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC and Coatue Management, alongside a large group of heavyweight international venture capital and private equity investors.

US AI unicorn Anthropic, the scaleup founded by Italian-Americans Dario and Daniela Amodei has raised another 30 billion dollars in a Series G funding round led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC and Coatue Management (already an investor since 2025), bringing the company’s post-money valuation to 380 billion dollars (see the press release here).

It had been known for several months that the scaleup was working on a new round led by GIC and Coatue based on a pre-money valuation of 350 billion dollars, but until now the amount discussed had been “only” 10 billion (see the Wall Street Journal here: ).

The round was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ and MGX. Other significant investors in this round include: Accel, Addition, Alpha Wave Global, Altimeter, AMP PBC, Appaloosa LP, Baillie Gifford, Bessemer Venture Partners, BlackRock, Blackstone, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management & Research Company, General Catalyst, Greenoaks, Growth Equity of Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Insight Partners, Jane Street, JPMorganChase (through its Security and Resiliency Initiative), Growth Equity Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Menlo Ventures, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, NX1 Capital, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Sands Capital, Sequoia Capital, Temasek, TowerBrook, TPG, Whale Rock Capital and XN. This round also includes a portion of previously announced investments by Microsoft and NVIDIA.

It is worth recalling that last September 2025 Anthropic had raised a 13 billion dollar Series F round, led by ICONIQ and co-led by Fidelity Management & Research Company and Lightspeed Venture Partners. The scaleup’s post-money valuation had then reached 183 billion dollars. Other major investors in that round included Altimeter, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock, Blackstone, Coatue, D1 Capital Partners, General Atlantic, General Catalyst, GIC, Growth Equity of Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Insight Partners, Jane Street, Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan, Qatar Investment Authority, TPG, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc., WCM Investment Management and XN (see here a previous article by BeBeez).

That fundraising had come just a few months after the previous 3.5 billion dollar round announced in March 2025, after which the company had been valued at “only” 61.5 billion dollars (see here a previous article by BeBeez:). That round had been led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, Cisco Investments, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management & Research Company, General Catalyst, Jane Street, Menlo Ventures and Salesforce Ventures, in addition to other new and existing investors. The March 2025 round had in turn closely followed the 1 billion dollar round entirely subscribed by Alphabet Inc, Google’s parent company, in January of the same year, as reported by Bloomberg, which had brought Alphabet’s total investment in the scaleup to 3 billion dollars. Not only that. In November 2024 Anthropic had also raised a 4 billion dollar round entirely subscribed by Amazon, bringing the group’s total investment in the scaleup to 8 billion dollars (see here a previous article by BeBeez).

The resources raised through the Series G round will now fuel frontier research, product development and the expansion of infrastructure that has made Anthropic a market leader in artificial intelligence and enterprise coding, first and foremost the Claude platform.

“Whether entrepreneurs, startups or the world’s largest companies, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is becoming increasingly central to how businesses operate,” said Krishna Rao, Chief Financial Officer of Anthropic. “This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers and we will use this investment to continue developing the enterprise-grade products and models they rely on.”

In its statement Anthropic writes: “It has been less than three years since Anthropic earned its first dollar of revenue. Today, our annualized revenue run rate is 14 billion dollars, growing more than 10x year-over-year in each of the last three years.” It adds: “The number of customers spending more than 100,000 dollars per year on Claude (measured by run rate revenue) has grown 7x over the past year. And companies that begin using Claude for a single use case (API, Claude Code, or Claude for Work) are expanding their integrations across their organizations. Two years ago, a dozen customers were spending more than 1 million dollars annually with us. Today that number exceeds 500. Eight of the Fortune 10 companies are now Claude customers.”

Claude Code represents a new era of agentic coding, radically changing how teams build software. Claude Code was made publicly available in May 2025. Today, Claude Code revenue has grown to more than 2.5 billion dollars; that figure has more than doubled since the beginning of 2026. Weekly active users of Claude Code have also doubled since January 1. Enterprise subscriptions to Claude Code have quadrupled since the beginning of 2026, and enterprise usage has grown to account for more than half of all Claude Code revenue. The same capabilities that make Claude exceptional for coding are opening new opportunities in other categories of work as well: financial and data analysis, sales, cybersecurity, scientific research and more.

Philippe Laffont, founder and portfolio manager of Coatue, commented: “Since our initial investment in 2025, Anthropic’s focus on agentic coding and enterprise AI systems has accelerated its progress toward large-scale adoption. The team’s ability to rapidly expand its offering further positions Anthropic as a leader in a highly competitive AI market.”

And Choo Yong Cheen, Chief Investment Officer, Private Equity at GIC, added: “Anthropic is an undisputed category leader in enterprise AI, demonstrating breakthrough capabilities and setting a new standard in safety, performance and scalability that will drive its long-term success.”
