In Brief

Anthropic has just concluded a $30 billion Series G fundraising round, the company announced on Thursday. The new post‑money valuation is $380 billion, up from the previous Series F valuation of $183 billion.

Some details of the round were reported earlier this week by Bloomberg.

The round was led by Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment‑management firm Coatue, with co‑lead investors including D. E. Shaw Ventures, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX. Other significant investors listed include Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street, and the Qatar Investment Authority, among many others.

The infusion of funding comes as Anthropic competes for customers and cultural attention with OpenAI. OpenAI recently disclosed that it is seeking an additional $100 billion in funding, which, if secured, would raise its valuation to roughly $830 billion.

“Whether it is entrepreneurs, startups, or the world’s largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming more critical to how businesses work,” said Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s chief financial officer, in a press release. “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.”
