The artificial intelligence sector experienced another landmark event with Anthropic’s announcement of a $30 billion funding round that more than doubled its valuation to $380 billion. This extraordinary transaction ranks among the largest private investments ever and underscores surging institutional confidence in enterprise AI technologies.
Leading the investment were GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and Coatue Management, a prominent hedge fund with deep technology sector expertise. Their combined participation validates Anthropic’s technology leadership and market strategy, with both institutions recognizing the company’s dominant position in enterprise AI applications.
Anthropic’s financial metrics are compelling, with annualized revenue reaching $14 billion following three consecutive years of more than tenfold growth. Claude Code, the company’s AI-powered development assistant that became widely available in May 2025, has been a significant contributor to this revenue trajectory, addressing strong market demand for intelligent coding tools.
The company has laid out a detailed financial roadmap with cash consumption projected to fall to roughly one-third of revenue next year and approximately 9% by 2027. Anthropic’s 2028 break-even target represents an aggressive timeline that could establish it as the first major AI company to achieve profitability, providing advantages as companies prepare for anticipated public offerings in late 2026.
Anthropic was established by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei in 2021 after both departed from leadership positions at OpenAI to create a company with enhanced focus on AI safety. The company’s recent marketing efforts, including prominent Super Bowl commercials, have stressed its commitment to ad-free products, distinguishing it from competitors introducing advertising revenue models, while building on major investments from Amazon and Google totaling over $10 billion.
