Anthropic closed a $30 billion funding round on February 2026, catapulting its post‑money valuation to $380 billion and pushing its annual revenue run‑rate to $65 billion, according to Reuters.
The deal, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, followed a $3.5 billion raise that valued the lab at $61.5 billion earlier this year. Investors include Amazon, Alphabet and other tech giants, underscoring the high‑stakes competition among frontier AI labs.
The new valuation eclipses the $183 billion peak hit in September 2025 after a $13 billion infusion, marking a 107% jump in just eight months. Analysts note the pace matches the rapid scaling seen in the sector’s top performers.
Amid the valuation surge, Anthropic settled a $1.5 billion class‑action lawsuit in July 2026, clearing a major legal hurdle that had raised concerns about data‑usage compliance.
Reuters reports the company projects 2028 revenue of $190‑$200 billion, a 3‑ to 4‑fold increase over the current $65 billion run‑rate. The finance team also hinted at an IPO by 2028, positioning the firm ahead of peers like OpenAI.
With its valuation now approaching that of Amazon and Alphabet, Anthropic’s next moves will likely focus on scaling deployment, securing regulatory approvals, and finalizing IPO details, while investors watch for guidance on 2027 performance.
