Anthropic confirmed on Thursday that it secured $30 billion in its latest funding round, a Series G effort that values the company at $380 billion. The funding was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, ICONIQ and MGX, according to the company statement.
Other notable participants in the round included Sequoia Capital, Menlo Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Blackstone and affiliated funds of BlackRock. Anthropic, which counts Alphabet and Amazon among its backers, is the developer of the Claude family of artificial intelligence models.
Last week the firm introduced a new flagship model named Opus 4.6, part of a push to provide increasingly advanced tools for both enterprise and consumer applications. The company said the launch represents a step up in its efforts to deliver more capable AI products across those markets.
Investor interest in AI startups has continued to rise, the company said, driven by expectations of rapid growth and broad commercial adoption. That dynamic has contributed to soaring valuations for companies in the sector, including Anthropic and other prominent AI developers.
Context and market impact
The size and composition of the Series G underline strong venture and institutional appetite for AI exposure. Participation from elite venture firms alongside large asset managers signals demand across investor types. Anthropic’s valuation and product developments will be watched closely by participants in venture capital, enterprise technology procurement, and public markets that follow tech valuations.
