Anthropic's valuation could surpass $900 billion, making it the world's most valuable private startup
Multiple reports indicate Anthropic is closing a funding round exceeding $30 billion at a pre-money valuation above $900 billion, which would surpass OpenAI's $852 billion valuation. The round is co-led by Sequoia Capital, Dragoneer, Altimeter Capital, and Greenoaks. This follows a February 2026 Series G that also raised $30B at a $380B valuation — meaning the valuation has more than doubled in approximately three months.

Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate is reportedly on track to surpass $50 billion by end of June 2026, up from ~$9B at end of 2025. The company projects its first-ever operating profit of $559M in Q2 2026.
These revenue and valuation figures are unaudited and self-reported during fundraising discussions, creating an inherent incentive to present optimistic projections. A valuation of $900B implies a ~18x revenue multiple, which some analysts consider stretched even for AI.
