Anthropic announced Thursday that it has closed a $30 billion Series G funding round. The company’s new value is $380 billion, a significant increase from its previous Series F valuation of $183 billion.
Some details of the round were reported by Bloomberg earlier this week.
The new round was led by Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue, with a number of other notable companies co-leading the round, including DE Shaw Ventures, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX. Other significant investors listed include Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street and Qatar Investment Authority.
The AI startup’s cash injection comes as it competes for customers and cultural attention with rival OpenAI. OpenAI also recently revealed that it is looking to raise another $100 billion in funding, which would increase the company’s valuation to about $830 billion.
“Whether they’re an entrepreneur, a start-up, or the world’s largest corporation, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is becoming increasingly important to the way their business works,” Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao said in a press release. “This funding reflects the incredible demand from these customers, and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-grade products and models our customers have come to rely on.”
