In a historic move that underscores the sheer scale of the AI arms race, Anthropic officially announced on February 12, 2026, that it has raised $30 billion in a Series G funding round. The investment values the San Francisco-based AI safety leader at a staggering $380 billion post-money, more than doubling its $183 billion valuation from just five months ago.
This transaction stands as the second-largest private technology financing in history, trailing only OpenAI’s $40 billion-plus raise in 2025.
Blue-Chip Backing: The Investor Syndicate
The round was led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC and the tech-focused hedge fund Coatue Management. A diverse group of global institutional and strategic investors joined the cap table, signaling deep confidence in Anthropic’s “safety-first” enterprise strategy.
- Co-Leads: D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and Abu Dhabi’s MGX.
- Strategic Participation: The round includes portions of previously announced multi-billion dollar commitments from Microsoft and NVIDIA.
- Institutional Giants: Fidelity Management & Research, BlackRock, Blackstone, Sequoia Capital, and Goldman Sachs Alternatives.
Explosive Revenue: The $14 Billion Run-Rate
The massive valuation is underpinned by unprecedented financial growth. Anthropic reported that it has maintained a 10x annual growth rate for three consecutive years.
| Financial Milestone | Metric Value | Context |
| Current Run-Rate Revenue | $14 Billion | Grew from nearly zero just three years ago. |
| Claude Code Revenue | $2.5 Billion | Run-rate has doubled since January 1, 2026. |
| $1M+ Annual Customers | 500+ | Up from just 12 customers two years ago. |
| Fortune 10 Penetration | 80% | 8 out of the top 10 Fortune companies use Claude. |
Fueling the Next Frontier: Claude Opus 4.6 and Infrastructure
Anthropic intends to use the capital to secure massive compute capacity and accelerate the development of its “agentic” systems. The funding comes just one week after the launch of Claude Opus 4.6, which introduced a 1-million token context window and specialized “agent teams” for complex software engineering and financial analysis.
Key Focus Areas for 2026:
- Claude Code: Furthering the tool that already authors an estimated 4% of all public GitHub commits worldwide.
- Infrastructure Expansion: Building out a diversified hardware stack across AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and NVIDIA GPUs.
- Global Footprint: Opening new offices in Bengaluru and Tokyo to capture the rapidly growing Asian enterprise market.
“Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work. This fundraising reflects the incredible demand we are seeing and will fuel the enterprise-grade models our customers depend on.” — Krishna Rao, Anthropic CFO.
