Anthropic raises another $30 billion in Series G, with a new valuation of $380 billion

Anthropic just closed a $30 billion Series G fundraising round, the company announced Thursday. The company’s new valuation is $380 billion, a huge jump from its previous Series F valuation of $183 billion.

Some details of the tour were reported earlier this week by Bloomberg.

The new round was led by Singaporean wealth fund GIC and investment management firm Coatue, with a number of other high-profile firms – including DE Shaw Ventures, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX – leading the round. Other important investors on the list include Accel, General Catalyst, Jane Street, and the Qatar Investment Authority, among others.

The AI ​​startup is being pumped in funding as it competes for customers and cultural attention with rival OpenAI. OpenAI also recently announced that it is seeking an additional $100 billion in funding, which, if the funds are secured, would bring the company’s value to about $830 billion.

“Whether they are entrepreneurs, startups, or the world’s largest companies, the message from our customers is the same: Cloud is becoming more important to how businesses operate,” Krishna Rao, Anthropic’s chief financial officer, said in a press release. “This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing from these customers, and we will use this investment to continue building the enterprise-level products and models they have come to rely on.”
