Anthropic, one of the leading startups in the field of artificial intelligence, has raised $65 billion in its latest investment round. Following this funding stage, the company's market valuation reached $965 billion. This is expected to be the final private investment round before the company's initial public offering (IPO). This was reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
The Series H round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Sequoia Capital, and other major venture capital firms. Tech giants such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron also participated as strategic partners. Of these funds, $15 billion consists of previously agreed investments, with $5 billion coming from Amazon.
Anthropic plans to direct the new funds toward improving the safety and interpretability of the Claude model, expanding computing power, and scaling products for corporate clients. It is reported that the company's revenue exceeded $47 billion this month, and it is expected to reach its first operating profit in the future with a 130 percent growth rate.
On the same day the investment was raised, Anthropic introduced its new Claude Opus 4.8 model. This model demonstrates high efficiency in complex coding and agentic tasks. The company also plans to release its cybersecurity-focused Mythos model to a wider audience.
Currently, Anthropic is in fierce competition with OpenAI in the artificial intelligence market. As a reminder, in March of this year, OpenAI raised $122 billion and was valued at $852 billion. Meanwhile, the combination of SpaceX and xAI under Elon Musk's leadership is also aiming for an IPO with a valuation of $2 trillion.
