Claude AI maker Anthropic bags $30B funding at $380B valuation

Anthropic, the AI research firm behind the Claude models, has raised $30 billion in a Series G funding round, taking its post-money valuation to $380 billion.

The investment was led by GIC and Coatue, with participation from a diverse group of prominent backers including D. E. Shaw Ventures, Founders Fund, Dragoneer, ICONIQ, and MGX, alongside technology giants Microsoft and NVIDIA.

The scale of this capital injection shows the momentum in the AI space, with enterprises and developers driving Anthropic’s business.

Anthropic said the investment will accelerate frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansion.

In under three years, the company said, it has grown its revenue run-rate to $14 billion, maintaining a consistent growth rate of over 10x annually during that period. This rapid expansion is particularly evident in the high-end enterprise market.

For instance, the number of clients spending more than $100,000 annually has grown 7x in the last year, while the cohort of customers spending over $1 million has jumped to more than 500 in just two years, Anthropic said, adding that 8 of the top 10 Fortune companies use Claude for their operations.

Krishna Rao, Chief Financial Officer at Anthropic, pointed out that the core of this growth is the increasing reliance of major organisations on its platform.

“Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work. 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,” he said.

A primary catalyst for this success is the emergence of agentic coding. Claude Code, which was launched publicly in mid-2025, has already reached a revenue run-rate of $2.5 billion dollars, according to Anthropic. Recent estimates suggest that 4% of all public GitHub commits are now authored by this tool.

“Since our initial investment in 2025, Anthropic’s focus on agentic coding and enterprise-grade AI systems has accelerated its progress toward large-scale adoption. The team’s ability to rapidly scale its offerings further positions Anthropic as a leader in a highly competitive AI market,” said Philippe Laffont, Founder and Portfolio Manager of Coatue,  a tech-focused investment management firm which led the Series G round with GCC.

Anthropic continues to advance its technological lead with the introduction of models like Opus 4.6, which excels at economically valuable tasks in specialised fields like finance and law. The company also has an infrastructure edge, being the only frontier AI provider available on the three largest cloud platforms Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.

“Anthropic is the clear category leader in enterprise AI, demonstrating breakthrough capabilities and setting a new standard for safety, performance, and scale that will drive their long-term success,” said Choo Yong Cheen, Chief Investment Officer for Private Equity at GIC.

Claude is trained and runs on a variety of hardware including AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs.

India is a key market

Anthropic considers India as its second-largest global market for usage of its Claude AI models. Recently, the company named former Microsoft India head Irina Ghose as managing director for the country.

Dario Amodei, Co-founder and CEO of Anthropic, and other senior executives will be in India this month to formally open the company’s office in Bengaluru. The Bengaluru hub will be its second office in Asia Pacific, after Tokyo.

The move is intended to create a local team that can build AI for India-specific uses and to strengthen ties with Indian enterprises, startups and non-profit organisations.

Anthropic is also a key participant at the India AI Impact Summit to be held from February 16 to 20 in New Delhi.
