Anthropic Eyes Massive Round That Could Value It Near $1T

Anthropic is gunning for a jaw-dropping fundraise. The AI startup is in discussions to pull in between $30 billion and $50 billion in a single funding round, according to sources cited by the New York Times. The deal could value the company at up to $950 billion.

That's a staggering leap from its previous $380 billion valuation — roughly a 2.5x jump.

The timing lines up with Anthropic's recent release of Mythos, described as a powerful AI model. The company is also reportedly locked in a separate dispute with the Pentagon, though details remain thin.

If the round closes at the high end, it would rank among the largest private funding rounds in history and put Anthropic within striking distance of a trillion-dollar valuation — territory previously reserved for the biggest public tech giants.
