Anthropic Mulls $40-$50 B Fundraise at $850-$900 B Valuation Ahead of Potential IPO

Anthropic is evaluating a private capital raise of between $40 billion and $50 billion. Sources place the target post-money valuation between $850 billion and $900 billion, with one report describing it as “more than $900 billion.” The board is slated to decide in May, and the round is described as potentially the company’s final private financing before a public offering. The proposed terms would allocate the proceeds primarily to expand compute capacity and accelerate product development.

Anthropic’s annual revenue run rate climbed from about $9 billion at the end of 2025 to at least $30 billion, with some sources citing a current rate near $40 billion. Growth is driven by the Claude Code and Cowork AI-coding platforms. The company also introduced the Mythos model, a security-focused system currently limited to select customers for safety reasons.

Founded in 2021 by Dario Amodei and other former OpenAI staff, Anthropic’s CFO is Krishna Rao. An institutional investor is reported to be ready to commit $5 billion but has not secured a meeting. Current backers include Google (up to $40 billion conditional funding) and Amazon (up to $25 billion plus 5 GW of compute), with Broadcom noted as a future compute partner.

Anthropic’s February financing valued it at $380 billion; the contemplated $40-$50 billion raise would more than double that. OpenAI’s recent round raised $122 billion at a $852 billion valuation. Anthropic’s revenue run rate of $30-$40 billion reflects a three-to-four-fold rise from $9 billion in late 2025. Compute commitments total about 10 GW from Amazon and Google, with Broadcom slated for additional capacity.

Anthropic declined to comment on the fundraising talks. Leadership described the process as at a “very early stage” with no offers accepted. The board’s May meeting will decide whether to proceed, influencing the timing of any subsequent public offering.

Sources vary on the valuation target, citing $850-$900 billion or “more than $900 billion.” Reported revenue run-rates span $30 billion to “closer to $40 billion.” The round size is described as $40-$50 billion, with some accounts mentioning a single $50 billion figure. Investor composition and exact compute-agreement terms have not been disclosed.

If completed, the raise would place Anthropic alongside OpenAI as the two highest-valued private AI firms, sharpening competition for talent, compute and enterprise customers. The capital is aimed at securing additional gigawatts for scaling models like Mythos. Analysts note the round would rank among the largest private tech financings.

Anthropic’s board will meet in May to vote on the raise. Approval could lead to an IPO as early as October, per sources. Compute agreements with Amazon, Google and Broadcom are expected to close concurrently, delivering the infrastructure for next-generation model development.
