The artificial intelligence sector experienced a transformative funding event as Anthropic announced a $30 billion capital raise that more than doubled its valuation to $380 billion. This exceptional transaction, among the largest private investments ever, reflects surging investor confidence in enterprise AI applications and Anthropic’s demonstrated market leadership.
Leading the investment were two institutional powerhouses: GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and Coatue Management, a hedge fund with extensive technology investment expertise. Their participation validates Anthropic’s technology leadership and strategic positioning, with products demonstrating compelling advantages in enterprise deployment contexts.
Financial metrics at Anthropic are impressive, with annualized revenue reaching $14 billion following three consecutive years of more than tenfold growth. Claude Code, the company’s AI-powered development tool that achieved general availability in May 2025, has been a significant contributor to this revenue trajectory, addressing substantial developer demand and capturing market share.
The company has charted an aggressive course toward financial sustainability, with cash burn expected to decline to approximately one-third of revenue next year and less than 10% by 2027. Anthropic’s 2028 break-even goal would mark it as potentially the first major AI company to achieve profitability, providing strategic flexibility as both Anthropic and competitors prepare for anticipated IPO activity.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei after both departed from leadership positions at OpenAI to establish a company with enhanced focus on AI safety. The company’s recent marketing efforts, including prominent Super Bowl commercials, have emphasized its commitment to ad-free products, distinguishing it in a market where competitors have introduced advertising, while leveraging major investments from Amazon and Google.
