Anthropic Reportedly Nears $30 Billion Funding Round at Above $900 Billion Valuation
Anthropic is reportedly set to close a funding round of more than $30 billion at a valuation above $900 billion, with the deal potentially coming as soon as next week. If completed on those terms, the artificial-intelligence startup would potentially become the world's most valuable AI startup, ahead of OpenAI.
The proposed valuation would mark a sharp increase from the roughly $380 billion level tied to Anthropic's February financing, according to a recent Zoom Communications filing. That filing valued Zoom's stake in Anthropic at about $1.27 billion and said the videoconferencing company had invested an additional $46 million in recent months, highlighting how quickly valuations for leading AI developers have climbed.
