Anthropic Eyes $50 Billion Fundraise This Summer, Valuation Could Hit $1 Trillion

According to Financial Times, Anthropic is considering raising approximately $50 billion this summer to fund large-scale expansion of computing capacity, which would value the company at nearly $1 trillion, surpassing competitor OpenAI.

The pre-money valuation for the new funding round is estimated at around $900 billion, according to five people familiar with the matter. Anthropic's annualized revenue, based on recent weeks' data, is expected to exceed $45 billion, a five-fold increase from $9 billion at the end of last year. For comparison, OpenAI completed a record $122 billion fundraising round in March with a post-money valuation of $852 billion.
