Anthropic achieves a $380 billion valuation after a $30 billion funding round, driven by its innovative AI solutions and revenue growth.
The company has differentiated itself by focusing its model training on coding, with Claude Code gaining strong traction among developers and helping the company gain an edge over rivals in the enterprise AI market.
Anthropic's recently launched series of plugins for its Cowork agent had sparked a brutal selloff in global software stocks as investors debated the disruptive potential to the sector from sophisticated AI models.
The funding round, announced on Thursday (February 12, 2026), was co-led by investors including D. E. Shaw Ventures, ICONIQ and MGX. It also included a portion of previously announced investments from Microsoft and Nvidia.
Anthropic, backed by Google and Amazon, had raised $13 billion in a Series F round that valued the company at $183 billion, the company said in early September.
Meanwhile, OpenAI could be valued at about $830 billion as part of talks with SoftBank Group to invest as much as an additional $30 billion in the ChatGPT maker, Reuters reported in January.
Anthropic has rapidly built its revenue base — the company said its current run-rate revenue is $14 billion. For Claude Code alone, the run-rate revenue has grown to over $2.5 billion, more than doubling since the beginning of 2026.
