Anthropic Valuation Reaches $800 Billion, Receives Investment Interest from Multiple Venture Capital Firms

BlockBeats News, April 15, according to Business Insider, multiple sources familiar with the matter revealed that Anthropic has recently received investment interest from several venture capital firms, with a valuation as high as $800 billion, more than doubling its current valuation. For popular startups, receiving "preemptive offers" from investors is not uncommon, and companies often choose to decline. However, these offers also reflect Silicon Valley's strong demand to invest in Anthropic, especially as the company prepares for a potential IPO later this year. An Anthropic spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. In February of this year, Anthropic completed a funding round led by GIC and Coatue, with a valuation of $380 billion, less than half of OpenAI's $852 billion valuation achieved in its fundraising last month. On the secondary market platform Caplight, Anthropic's valuation is approximately $688 billion, marking a 75% increase in just three months. Investors and entrepreneurs are impressed by Anthropic's rapid growth and the momentum of its AI programming assistant, Claude Code. Last week, Anthropic announced that its annualized revenue had risen to $30 billion, a significant increase from $9 billion at the end of last year. Additionally, Anthropic released its latest model, Mythos, but stated that due to potential cybersecurity risks, the model will not be made publicly available for now.
