Anthropic Weighs New Funding Round at Valuation Exceeding $900 Billion, Bloomberg News Reports

The Claude maker’s annualized revenue surpassed $30 billion as investor interest rises ahead of a possible board decision in May.

  • On Wednesday, Bloomberg News reported that artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is weighing a new funding round valuing the company at more than $900 billion, potentially leapfrogging rival OpenAI as the world's most valuable AI startup.
  • Anthropic's valuation has surged since its February funding round of $380 billion, as annual revenue run rate surpassed $30 billion from roughly $9 billion at the end of 2025.
  • OpenAI closed a funding round last month valuing the firm at $852 billion, while Anthropic has received multiple preemptive offers to raise around $50 billion at a valuation in the $850 billion to $900 billion range.
  • The company is expected to make a definitive decision on the funding round at a board meeting in May, TechCrunch reported, with the capital raise potentially preceding an IPO as soon as October.
  • Despite a Pentagon designation labeling the firm a supply chain risk, an order currently under litigation, sources suggest Anthropic is only beginning to explore its potential in industries like finance and healthcare.
