The AI industry witnessed another watershed moment as Anthropic announced a $30 billion funding round that propels its valuation to $380 billion. This exceptional capital raise, one of the largest private transactions ever recorded, underscores strong investor confidence in Anthropic’s technology leadership and market positioning in enterprise AI.
GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and Coatue Management, a prominent technology-focused hedge fund, jointly led the massive investment round. Their combined backing validates Anthropic’s status as the premier enterprise AI provider, with the Claude platform demonstrating capabilities that distinguish it from competitors in business deployment scenarios.
Revenue metrics at Anthropic are compelling, with the company achieving $14 billion in annualized sales after growing more than 1,000% year-over-year for three consecutive years. Claude Code, the company’s AI coding assistant that achieved broad availability in May 2025, has been instrumental in this expansion, capturing significant developer adoption and market position.
The company has outlined a clear path to profitability, with forecasts indicating cash burn will decline to approximately one-third of revenue next year and just 9% by 2027. Anthropic’s ambitious 2028 break-even target could position it two years ahead of primary competitors in achieving sustainable operations, providing strategic flexibility as companies prepare for public offerings expected in late 2026.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by Dario and Daniela Amodei following their departures from OpenAI leadership, with a founding mission centered on AI safety and ethical development. The company’s recent marketing efforts, including prominent Super Bowl commercials, have highlighted its ad-free product approach, creating meaningful differentiation from competitors introducing advertising revenue models, while leveraging major investments from Amazon and Google totaling over $10 billion.
