AI research company Anthropic has secured $13 billion in Series F funding to reach a $183 billion valuation, highlighting investor confidence in its accelerating growth and product strength.
The funding round is led by ICONIQ alongside key contributions from Fidelity Management & Research, and Lightspeed Venture Partners, and makes Anthropic one of the most valuable startups in the world.
Among the backers are Altimeter, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock, Blackstone, Coatue, D1 Capital Partners, General Atlantic, General Catalyst, GIC, and Insight Partners, among others.
The company’s financial performance has surged in recent months. At the beginning of the year, Anthropic reported an annual run-rate revenue of around one billion dollars. By August, that figure had soared to more than 5 billion dollars, a 5x increase in less than 9 months.
Anthropic also revealed that it now serves more than 300,000 business customers. The number of large enterprise clients generating over $100,000 in run-rate revenue has grown nearly 7 times in the past year alone. Claude Code, a tool aimed at developers, has emerged as one of its most successful products, generating over $500 million in run-rate revenue.
The Series F raise follows a Series E round earlier this year, when Anthropic collected $3.5 billion at a valuation of $61.5 billion. The leap to a $183 billion valuation in just a few months underscores how quickly confidence in the company has grown.
Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, the company has consistently emphasized building systems that are reliable, interpretable, and aligned with human values.
With the new capital, Anthropic plans to expand its enterprise footprint, accelerate research into AI safety, and extend its international reach.
