Anthropic is seeking to raise at least
$30 billion in a new funding round, potentially valuing the AI startup at over
$900 billion pre-money, according to Bloomberg. The company is scaling aggressively to meet surging demand for its Claude chatbot and enterprise AI solutions.
The round, which could close before month-end, remains under negotiation with no formal terms signed. Anthropic is also reportedly evaluating a potential IPO as early as October, with fresh capital seen as critical to securing the computing infrastructure needed for continued expansion.
Investor interest intensified after multiple unsolicited proposals in recent weeks, prompting Anthropic to engage existing shareholders about participating in the raise.
The company has already secured major strategic backing from tech giants through performance-linked agreements.
