The round is expected to be led by Coatue Management and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC, with terms still being finalized and the deal potentially closing in the coming weeks.
The San Francisco-based company behind the Claude AI models has viewn rapid valuation growth over the past year. In 2025, Anthropic raised $13 billion at a $183 billion valuation, following an earlier $3.5 billion round at about $61.5 billion.

Strategic Backing and Infrastructure

The company has taken a multi-partner approach to infrastructure, securing access to large-scale computing resources at a time when AI model training costs continue to climb. Report also suggest interest from Nvidia and Microsoft, though the structure and scale of any involvement remain unclear.
While Anthropic does not publicly disclose revenue figures, estimates suggest strong growth in 2025, fueled by enterprise subscriptions and API usage.
Claude has been adopted across software development, customer support, data analysis, and internal automation, positioning Anthropic as a competitive alternative to and Google in the enterprise AI market. The company has also expanded its developer tooling, with Claude increasingly used for coding and reasoning tasks.
AI remains one of the most dominant sectors in the market, attracting billions in investment in 2025 alone — a 34% increase from 2024. However, it still trails OpenAI, which raised $41 billion in 2024, compared with Claude’s $17.5 billion in total funding.
Intensifying AI Competition
The reported fundraising comes amid intense competition among AI developers. OpenAI continues to scale with Microsoft’s backing, while Meta, Google, and Elon Musk’s xAI are also heavily investing in model development, talent acquisition, and infrastructure expansion. Access to capital and computing power has become a decisive factor in this high-stakes race.
Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives Dario and Daniela Amodei, Anthropic has positioned itself around a securety-first approach to AI development. The company has reportedly hired a law firm to prepare for a potential IPO later this year, though no formal filing date has been announced. This is in contrast to OpenAI is reportedly viewking $100 billion at a $750 billion valuation this year.
If completed, the $10 billion raise would impact how aggressively capital continues to flow into artificial intelligence and highlight the high stakes in the race to build the next generation of AI models.
