Anthropic plans to raise $50 billion, with a valuation potentially reaching $900 billion

AI company Anthropic is considering launching a new round of financing this summer, with a financing scale of up to $50 billion and a pre-financing valuation of approximately $900 billion, potentially surpassing OpenAI to become the highest-valued AI company in the world.

Currently, institutions such as Dragoneer, General Catalyst, and Lightspeed Venture Partners have actively expressed their intention to invest. Sources reveal that Anthropic's annualized revenue is about to exceed $45 billion, growing approximately five times from $9 billion at the end of last year; this round of financing is expected to be completed within two months and pave the way for an IPO within the year.
