Anthropic is considering raising tens of billions of dollars this summer to
expand computing capacity, in a deal that could value the AI company at about
$900bn pre-money and potentially nearly $1tn, the Financial Times reported,
citing people familiar with the matter. Investors including Dragoneer, General
Catalyst and Lightspeed Venture Partners are reportedly in discussions, with
some expecting the round to raise up to $50bn and close within two months. The
company’s annualised revenue is said to be approaching $45bn, up from $9bn at
end-2025. The funding push comes as Anthropic, maker of Claude, faces compute
constraints and prepares broader deployment of its new model Mythos, while
securing infrastructure deals with firms including Amazon Web Services , Google
, Broadcom and SpaceX . OpenAI was valued at $852bn post-money in March after a
$122bn funding round.
