**[Anthropic Featured on TIME Magazine Cover: Dubbed "The Most Disruptive Company in the World," $380 Billion Valuation Surpasses Goldman Sachs and Coca-Cola]**
March 12 news: Anthropic has been featured on the latest cover of TIME Magazine, with CEO Dario Amodei prominently displayed at the center of the cover under the headline "The War for AI." This marks the first time a company in the AI industry has been featured as a cover story on TIME (previously, the 2025 Person of the Year was the "Architects of AI" collective). The report, written by journalists Harry Booth and Billy Perrigo after a three-day on-site interview at Anthropic's headquarters, defines Anthropic as "The Most Disruptive Company in the World."
The report highlights Anthropic's current scale: it recently completed a $30 billion funding round (potential IPO this year), with a valuation of $380 billion, surpassing Goldman Sachs, McDonald's, and Coca-Cola. The annualized revenue of its single product, Claude Code, reached $2.5 billion by February this year (compared to $1 billion by the end of 2025). According to estimates by Epoch and Semianalysis, Anthropic is expected to surpass OpenAI's total revenue by the end of 2026. Each new product launch triggers market volatility; when Claude introduced plugins for non-programmers in sales, finance, legal, and marketing, software companies saw a collective $300 billion wiped off their market value.
The feature also delves deeply into the conflict between Anthropic and the Pentagon. After Amodei upheld two red lines—prohibiting Claude from being used for fully autonomous lethal weapons and mass surveillance of U.S. citizens—Anthropic was labeled a supply chain risk. In a leaked internal memo, Amodei wrote: "The real reason is that we didn’t donate to Trump, nor did we offer dictator-style praise like Sam Altman." Following the conflict, Claude's iPhone app climbed to the top of the App Store, with over 1 million daily registrations. The report further reveals that 70% to 90% of the code used to develop future models is now written by Claude itself, and Claude's speed in certain critical tasks is already 427 times faster than human supervisors. Chief Scientist Jared Kaplan believes fully automated AI research could be achievable within a year.
