Anthropic Seeks $50 Billion Funding Round Valuing It at $900 Billion

Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the Claude model family, is seeking a funding round that could value it at $900 billion, with the round described as potentially closing within two weeks.

“Anthropic is in discussions to raise $40–$50 billion in fresh funding at a valuation of $850-$900 billion”

MEXC reports that Anthropic has asked investors to submit allocation requests within the next 48 hours, signaling a rapidly closing window for participation.

디지털투데이 similarly says Anthropic asked investors to submit within 48 hours how much they plan to put into its latest funding round, citing TechCrunch on April 30 local time.

Multiple outlets frame the target valuation as above OpenAI’s, with MEXC stating the $900 billion figure would surpass chief rival OpenAI’s $852 billion post-money valuation.

CNBC adds that the talks are ongoing and that no term sheet has been signed, with an Anthropic spokesperson declining to comment.

The reported round size is also consistent across coverage, with MEXC describing the round as expected to raise roughly $50 billion and 디지털투데이 saying the round is expected to total about $50 billion and close within two weeks.

Across the reporting, the fundraising push is tied directly to Anthropic’s computing needs, with multiple articles describing the funds as intended to cover infrastructure and training costs.

MEXC says the massive computing needs for training advanced AI models “drives the need for this large capital infusion,” and it adds that the company has secured partnerships with cloud providers and chipmakers while still requiring substantial capital.

디지털투데이 states plainly that Anthropic plans to use the funds for computing costs.

Unite.AI adds that the round is being weighed against a backdrop of infrastructure commitments, including Amazon’s additional $5 billion equity investment on April 20 and up to $20 billion more tied to commercial milestones, bringing Amazon’s total commitment to roughly $33 billion.

Unite.AI also reports that under the same agreement Anthropic committed to spend more than $100 billion on AWS technologies over the next decade and secured up to 5 gigawatts of AWS capacity.

CNBC likewise describes the compute angle, saying Anthropic needs to be able to purchase the compute that it needs in order to run Mythos, and it ties that need to the company’s cybersecurity-focused model release.

The compute picture is broadened further by Unite.AI’s account of Google’s investment and capacity commitments, including Google’s plan to invest up to $40 billion and a separate commitment of roughly 5 gigawatts of TPU capacity.

The valuation chase is also linked to Anthropic’s revenue trajectory and enterprise adoption of Claude, with outlets citing specific run-rate figures and product-driven growth.

MEXC says the company announced this month that its annual revenue run rate has surpassed $30 billion, while sources with knowledge of the company’s financials indicate the run rate is closer to $40 billion.

Unite.AI similarly reports that Anthropic said on April 7 that its annualized run-rate revenue had surpassed $30 billion, up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025.

CNBC adds that Anthropic has reached $30 billion in annualized revenue and that it generated roughly $10 billion in revenue last year.

Multiple articles connect that acceleration to Claude Code and other enterprise tools, with Unite.AI saying Claude Code was generating $2.5 billion in run-rate revenue as of the Series G disclosure and that weekly active users doubled since the start of 2026.

MEXC says revenue growth is fueled by enterprise adoption of Claude for tasks like coding, content generation, and data analysis.

KultureGeek, in French, quotes Anthropic’s own framing of demand, saying Anthropic has recently specified that « La demande des clients Claude s’est accélérée en 2026 » and that its annualized revenue had exceeded 30 milliards de dollars.

The fundraising discussions are portrayed as occurring alongside major commitments from large technology companies, and several outlets describe how those backers are tied to both cash and compute.

MEXC compares Anthropic’s position to OpenAI’s, noting OpenAI closed a record-breaking $122 billion round at an $852 billion valuation earlier this year, while Anthropic is racing toward a $900 billion valuation.

Unite.AI details a multi-provider infrastructure stack, including Amazon’s investment and compute capacity, Google’s up to $40 billion investment and roughly 5 gigawatts of TPU capacity, and it also says Add Microsoft’s $5 billion commitment and Nvidia’s up to $10 billion pledge, describing the cash-plus-compute stack as spanning every major US AI infrastructure provider.

CNBC reports that large contributions to OpenAI included up to $50 billion from Amazon, $30 billion from Nvidia and $30 billion from SoftBank, and it places Anthropic’s own valuation at $380 billion as of February.

Unite.AI adds that Anthropic’s board decision on whether to proceed is expected in May, and it frames the round as potentially serving as Anthropic’s final private fundraise before an IPO that could come as early as October.

MEXC says the company is raising what is likely its last private round before an anticipated initial public offering (IPO) later this year.

PYMNTS includes a direct quote from CEO Dario Amodei about Amazon, stating: “Our collaboration with Amazon will allow us to continue advancing AI research while delivering Claude to our customers, including the more than 100,000 building on AWS.”

While the funding story is dominated by valuation and compute, some coverage also brings in regulatory and policy friction that could shape the timeline and stakes around Anthropic’s products.

“Anthropic is weighing a new private funding round that could value the Claude AI developer between $850 billion and more than $900 billion, as investor demand for leading artificial intelligence companies continues to rise”

PYMNTS says the White House was working on a way to permit federal agencies to continue using new AI tools from Anthropic, even after the government placed a supply chain risk designation on the company.

It adds that the Pentagon instituted the supply chain risk designation earlier this year after a disagreement with Anthropic, which objected to the use of its technology in mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons.

PYMNTS also notes that Anthropic has said it was taking legal action to reverse the designation.

Gizmodo and other alternative outlets frame the competitive and risk context differently, with Gizmodo claiming Bloomberg said Anthropic is preparing for a funding round that will value it at “more than $900” and also asserting that Anthropic’s litigation over the designation is still pending.

CNBC, by contrast, ties the funding need to Anthropic’s cybersecurity model, saying it unveiled Claude Mythos Preview, a model with advanced cybersecurity capabilities that is only available to a select group of companies.

The stakes are also framed through the prospect of an IPO, with Unite.AI saying the IPO could come as early as October and MEXC describing an anticipated IPO later this year.
