Capital is no longer chasing AI hype. It is consolidating around infrastructure-grade platforms that enterprises already depend on. Anthropic has now drawn a decisive line in that shift.
The company has raised $30 billion in Series G funding led by GIC and Coatue, valuing Anthropic at $380 billion post-money. The round was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX.
Moreover, the syndicate stretches across global institutional capital, including Sequoia Capital, Temasek, BlackRock, Qatar Investment Authority, and Fidelity Management & Research Company, among others. The round also includes a portion of the previously announced investments from Microsoft and NVIDIA. The capital injection will accelerate frontier research, product development, and infrastructure expansion. More strategically, it cements Anthropicโs position as the enterprise-grade AI intelligence platform increasingly embedded into operational workflows.
โWhether it is entrepreneurs, startups, or the worldโs largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work,โ said Krishna Rao, Anthropicโs Chief Financial Officer. โThis fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers, and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-grade products and models they have come to depend on.โ
Revenue Momentum Signals Platform Entrenchment
It has been less than three years since Anthropic earned its first dollar in revenue. Today, our run-rate revenue is $14 billion, with this figure growing over 10x annually in each of those past three years.
This expansion reflects more than model experimentation. Enterprises are scaling deployments. The number of customers spending over $100,000 annually on Claude has grown 7x in the past year. Two years ago, a dozen customers spent over $1 million with us on an annualized basis. Today that number exceeds 500. Eight of the Fortune 10 are now Claude customers.
As a result, Anthropicโs footprint increasingly resembles mission-critical infrastructure rather than discretionary software. Businesses that begin with a single use case API, Claude Code, or Claude for Work expand integrations across departments, embedding AI deeper into production systems.
Claude Code Drives Agentic Shift
Claude Code now anchors that expansion. Released to the general public in May 2025, the product defines Anthropicโs push into agentic coding. Today, Claude Codeโs run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion; this figure has more than doubled since the beginning of 2026. The number of weekly active Claude Code users has also doubled since January 1. A recent analysis estimated that 4% of all GitHub public commits worldwide were being authored by Claude Code double the percentage from just one month prior.
Enterprise adoption now represents over half of Claude Code revenue. Business subscriptions have quadrupled since the start of 2026. Furthermore, capabilities initially designed for coding now extend into financial modeling, cybersecurity analysis, sales operations, and scientific workflows.
In January alone, we launched more than thirty products and features, including Cowork, which brings Claude Codeโs powerful engineering capabilities to a broader scope of knowledge work tasks. Cowork includes eleven open-source plugins that let customers turn Claude into a specialist for specific roles or teams, like sales, legal, or finance. We also expanded our reach into healthcare and life sciences, with Claude for Enterprise now available to organizations operating under HIPAA.
โSince our initial investment in 2025, Anthropicโs focus on agentic coding and enterprise-grade AI systems has accelerated its progress toward large-scale adoption,โ said Philippe Laffont, Founder & Portfolio Manager of Coatue. โThe teamโs ability to rapidly scale its offerings further positions Anthropic as a leader in a highly competitive AI market.โ
Frontier Models, Infrastructure Depth
Anthropic continues to push model performance boundaries. Opus 4.6, launched last week, can power agents that manage entire categories of real-world work, generating documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with professional polish. And Opus 4.6 is the worldโs leading model on GDPval-AA, which measures performance on economically valuable knowledge work tasks in finance, legal, and other domains.
โAnthropic is the clear category leader in enterprise AI, demonstrating breakthrough capabilities and setting a new standard for safety, performance, and scale that will drive their long-term success,โ said Choo Yong Cheen, Chief Investment Officer, Private Equity, GIC.
Yet capital alone does not define scale. Infrastructure does. Claude remains the only frontier AI model available across all three dominant hyperscale clouds: Amazon Web Services via Bedrock, Google Cloud via Vertex AI, and Microsoft Azure via Foundry. The company trains and runs models across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs. Consequently, Anthropic matches workloads to optimized hardware while preserving operational resilience.
Therefore, infrastructure diversity translates directly into operational flexibility. In an environment where compute access defines competitive advantage, this multi-platform strategy reduces dependency risk while enhancing negotiating leverage.
From Model Provider to Strategic Utility
Ultimately, the Series G round does more than elevate valuation. Instead, it underscores a structural transition underway in enterprise AIโfrom experimentation to scaled implementation. Demand from enterprises and developers signals trust in Claude for high-stakes, economically valuable work. Anthropic now sits at the intersection of frontier research, enterprise-grade deployment, and global infrastructure orchestration.
As AI spending consolidates around platforms that combine safety, performance, and deployment flexibility, Anthropic positions itself less as a startup and more as a foundational utility layer for the AI economy.
