Competition in the field of artificial intelligence is entering a feverish stage, and the developer of the Claude large model, Anthropic, has recently attracted significant capital attention. According to insiders, several investment institutions have issued funding offers to the company, planning to inject approximately $50 billion in funds at a valuation of up to $900 billion.

Revenue growth has sparked investor frenzy

This astonishing valuation is based on Anthropic's strong business performance, with its annual recurring revenue having surpassed the $30 billion mark. Compared to $9 billion at the end of 2025, this growth rate far exceeds market expectations, demonstrating the huge potential of AI technology in commercial applications.

Currently, the core of Anthropic's revenue mainly comes from its powerful AI coding capabilities, especially the widespread use of platforms like Claude Code among developers. Investors generally believe that as the company delves deeper into vertical industries such as finance, life sciences, and healthcare, there is still significant room for growth.

The valuation may surpass OpenAI and impact the IPO

If this round of financing is ultimately completed under the rumored conditions, Anthropic's valuation will more than double compared to February of this year. This figure not only puts it on par with its long-time rival OpenAI, but could also potentially overtake it in market share and capital enthusiasm.

Given the strong interest of top global venture capital firms in Anthropic, the company's board expects to make a final decision on this financing plan at its meeting in May. Sources indicate that this is likely to be the last round of financing for Anthropic as a private company, after which it will accelerate its IPO process.
