Anthropic Says It Hit a $30 Billion Revenue Run Rate After 'Crazy' 80x Growth

The AI startup’s revenue has topped a $30 billion annualized run rate as it scrambles for more compute capacity.

  • Anthropic secured a critical deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX to utilize all compute capacity at the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, to address surging demand for its AI models.
  • Driven by 80-fold growth in annualized revenue, Anthropic faced a compute crisis that CEO Dario Amodei described as "just crazy" and "too hard to handle," forcing the company to urgently seek expanded infrastructure.
  • Accessing over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, the deal bolsters Anthropic's infrastructure capabilities to support its $30 billion revenue run rate, a significant jump from the $9 billion reported at the end of 2025.
  • Following this expansion, Anthropic is weighing a funding round that could value the company at more than $900 billion, potentially leapfrogging rival OpenAI, which has an estimated valuation of $400 billion.
  • With Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley in early discussions, Anthropic is reportedly exploring an IPO as early as October 2026 to support its long-term infrastructure and financial goals.
