Anthropic’s new US$965 billion post‑money valuation, following a US$65 billion raise, has pushed it ahead of OpenAI’s roughly US$852 billion and set up a high‑stakes race for a trillion‑dollar valuation.
Anthropic PBC raised $65 billion in a funding round that valued the artificial intelligence company at $965 billion including the new investment, eclipsing rival OpenAI's value for the first time. The funding, announced Thursday, was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital. Each of the lead investors put in more than $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. Sequoia declined to comment. The other three firms did not respond to a request for comment.
