Anthropic Closes Historic $30 Billion Series G Round at $380 Billion Valuation

# Anthropic Closes Historic $30 Billion Series G Round at $380 Billion Valuation In a landmark moment for the artificial intelligence industry, Anthropic announced the completion of a $30 billion Series G funding round on February 12, 2026, propelling the company's post-money valuation to an unprecedented $380 billion. This massive capital injection represents the second-largest private financing round in tech history and more than doubles Anthropic's previous valuation of $183 billion from September 2025. ## What Happened The Series G round was co-led by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and technology investment firm Coatue, with additional co-leads including D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and Abu Dhabi's MGX. The round attracted an impressive roster of over 30 investors, including Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management & Research Company, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs Alternatives, Qatar Investment Authority, and Jane Street. Notably, the round also incorporated portions of previously announced investments from Microsoft and NVIDIA, who had committed up to $5 billion and $10 billion respectively. This diverse investor base spans sovereign wealth funds, venture capital firms, asset managers, and strategic technology partners, demonstrating broad institutional confidence in Anthropic's vision. ## Why It Matters This funding round underscores the intense competition and massive capital requirements in the race to develop advanced AI systems. Anthropic now stands as a formidable competitor to OpenAI, which recently indicated it is seeking an additional $100 billion in funding that could push its valuation to approximately $830 billion. The investment comes at a time when Anthropic is experiencing explosive growth. The company reported run-rate revenue of $14 billion, representing over tenfold annual growth for the past three years. The number of customers spending over $100,000 annually on Claude has increased sevenfold in the past year, while those spending over $1 million annually now exceed 500. Eight of the Fortune 10 companies are currently using Claude. A key driver of this revenue acceleration is Claude Code, Anthropic's AI programming tool launched to the public in May 2025. Its run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion, with weekly active users doubling since January 1, 2026. A recent analysis estimated that Claude Code authored 4% of all GitHub public commits worldwide, highlighting its significant impact on software development. ## Strategic Implications Anthropicโ€™s Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao stated that the investment would be utilized to continue building enterprise-grade products and models, with funds earmarked for frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansions. The company is making Claude available across all three major cloud platforms: Amazon Web Services (Bedrock), Google Cloud (Vertex AI), and Microsoft Azure (Foundry). The company's infrastructure strategy is notably diversified, training and running Claude on AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs to match workloads to the most suitable chips. This multi-cloud, multi-hardware approach provides resilience and flexibility that enterprise customers demand. In January 2026 alone, Anthropic launched more than thirty products and features, including Cowork, which extends Claude Code's capabilities to a broader range of knowledge work tasks, and expanded into healthcare and life sciences with HIPAA-compliant Claude for Enterprise. The company's newest model, Opus 4.6, is capable of powering agents for complex knowledge work tasks in finance, legal, and other domains, and is currently the leading model on GDPval-AA benchmark. ## Market Context and Future Outlook Since its founding in 2021 by former OpenAI members, Anthropic has now raised nearly $64 billion in total funding. The company's trajectory from a $580 million Series A in April 2022 to a $380 billion valuation in less than four years represents one of the fastest value creation stories in technology history. Investors like GIC and Coatue have expressed confidence in Anthropic's leadership in enterprise AI, its breakthrough capabilities, and its focus on safety, performance, and scale. MGX's participation in this round is part of its expanding footprint in the US tech sector, including previous investments in OpenAI and partnerships with NVIDIA. Anthropicโ€™s appointment of Chris Liddell, former CFO at Microsoft and General Motors, to its board of directors signals potential preparations for an IPO in 2026. The company has also stated it aims to reduce its cash burn to roughly a third of revenue in 2026 and 9% by 2027, targeting a break-even point by 2028. As the AI industry continues to attract unprecedented levels of capital, Anthropic's massive funding round demonstrates that investors believe the market for enterprise AI is still in its early stages, with significant growth potential ahead. The company's focus on safety, interpretability, and enterprise-grade reliability positions it as a key player in shaping the future of artificial intelligence. ## Sources - [Anthropic Official Announcement](https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-30-billion-series-g-funding-380-billion-post-money-valuation) - [TechCrunch: Anthropic raises another $30 billion](https://techcrunch.com/2026/02/12/anthropic-raises-another-30-billion-in-series-g-with-a-new-value-of-380-billion/) - [CNBC: Anthropic closes $30 billion funding round](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/12/anthropic-closes-30-billion-funding-round-at-380-billion-valuation.html) - [Reuters: Anthropic valued at $380 billion](https://www.reuters.com/technology/anthropic-valued-380-billion-latest-funding-round-2026-02-12/) - [The Guardian: Anthropic funding round](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/12/anthropic-funding-round)
