Anthropic has closed a $30 billion Series G fundraising round, significantly raising its valuation to $380 billion. The funding round was led by Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue.
Other co-leads included D.E. Shaw Ventures, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX. A diverse group of investors participated, including Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street, and the Qatar Investment Authority, among others. Details of the round had surfaced earlier this week in a Bloomberg report.
The substantial investment comes as Anthropic competes with OpenAI for customers and market attention. Notably, OpenAI recently disclosed plans to raise another $100 billion, which would lift its valuation to approximately $830 billion if successful.
Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao commented on the fundraising in a press release, stating, “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.” Rao further emphasized, “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.”
