Anthropic Reportedly Targets a Record $25 Billion Funding Round

The U.S.-based generative AI start-up is said to be close to securing an unprecedented fundraising deal. The move could propel Anthropic into the ranks of the world’s most highly valued tech companies and further intensify competition among AI heavyweights.

Anthropic, the company behind the AI assistant Claude, is reportedly preparing a funding round of up to $25 billion, according to the Financial Times. The deal would value the company between $300 and $350 billion. The round is expected to be led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC alongside U.S. investment firm Coatue, with notable participation from Sequoia Capital, which is already a shareholder in OpenAI and xAI. Such a strategy remains unusual in venture capital, where investors typically back a single market leader. This diversified approach reflects a belief that the AI sector will not be dominated by one winner alone. Focused primarily on enterprise use cases, advanced software development, and workflow automation, Anthropic is reportedly experiencing rapid revenue growth and is also exploring a potential initial public offering as early as 2026.
