Anthropic Raises $30 Billion in Series G, Valuation Soars to $380 Billion
Anthropic has secured a record-breaking $30 billion in Series G funding, pushing its post-money valuation to $380 billion — making it one of the most valuable private AI companies in history. The round, led by GIC and Coatue, includes major institutional investors such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Qatar Investment Authority.
Anthropic, the artificial intelligence firm behind the Claude chatbot, has closed a landmark $30 billion Series G funding round, valuing the company at $380 billion post-money — a staggering increase that cements its position as one of the most valuable private technology firms globally. The financing, announced on February 12, 2026, was co-led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC and U.S.-based hedge fund Coatue, with significant participation from D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ Capital, and MGX, the investment arm of the United Arab Emirates. Additional investors include Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Microsoft, Nvidia, JPMorgan Chase, Sequoia Capital, and Fidelity Management & Research Company, underscoring broad institutional confidence in Anthropic’s long-term AI strategy.
According to Anthropic’s official announcement, the capital will be deployed to accelerate frontier research in AI safety and reasoning, expand enterprise product offerings, and scale global infrastructure to meet surging demand. The company reported an annual run-rate revenue of $14 billion, marking a tenfold increase over each of the past three years — a growth trajectory unmatched in the enterprise AI sector. This revenue surge, driven primarily by enterprise licensing agreements and API usage from Fortune 500 companies and government agencies, positions Anthropic as a dominant player in the commercial AI market, rivaling OpenAI and Google DeepMind in both scale and profitability.
Investors view Anthropic’s funding milestone as more than a financial event; it is a strategic inflection point in the global AI race. Unlike competitors that rely heavily on public cloud infrastructure, Anthropic has invested heavily in proprietary training clusters and energy-efficient data centers, reducing dependency on third-party hardware providers like Nvidia — even as the chipmaker remains a key investor. The company’s emphasis on constitutional AI, a framework designed to align models with human values and reduce harmful outputs, has attracted regulatory favor in both the U.S. and EU, giving it a competitive edge as governments move to legislate AI ethics.
The participation of sovereign wealth funds from the UAE and Qatar highlights the growing role of state-backed capital in shaping the future of AI. MGX and QIA’s involvement signals a geopolitical shift, with Middle Eastern nations positioning themselves as central players in the global AI ecosystem. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s continued backing — despite its own investments in OpenAI — suggests a deliberate diversification strategy, recognizing Anthropic as a critical counterbalance to ensure competition and innovation in the generative AI space.
Market analysts note that Anthropic’s $380 billion valuation surpasses the market capitalization of many public tech giants, including Adobe, Salesforce, and even some legacy automotive firms. Yet, unlike publicly traded companies, Anthropic remains privately held, allowing it to pursue long-term research goals without quarterly earnings pressure. This autonomy, combined with its deep pockets, enables the company to invest in high-risk, high-reward projects such as multi-modal reasoning systems and autonomous agent frameworks that could redefine enterprise automation.
As Anthropic prepares to launch its next-generation Claude 4 model later this year, industry watchers anticipate further disruption in coding assistance, legal document analysis, and scientific research tools. With this funding, the company is not just scaling its business — it is redefining the infrastructure of the next decade of artificial intelligence.
