Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI company behind the Claude family of large language models, is preparing to launch a massive new funding round targeting $10 billion, which could value the company at around $350 billion nearly doubling its valuation from its last major raise and underscoring the intense investor demand for frontier artificial intelligence technology. The new financing is expected to be led by Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC alongside Coatue Management, according to reports based on discussions with multiple sources familiar with the matter. The $10 billion figure is currently a planning target and the size and structure of the deal could evolve as talks continue, but the valuation if realised would place Anthropic among the most valuable privately held AI startups in the world, rivalled only by a handful of tech giants. Anthropic’s plans come on the heels of a $13 billion Series F funding round in September 2025 that valued the company at about $183 billion, reflecting rapid growth in enterprise adoption of its AI products and strong commercial traction for Claude across developers and businesses. With rising demand for generative AI tools and increasing enterprise spending on AI solutions, the company is aiming to more than double its annualised revenue run rate this year, according to industry sources, while also preparing for a possible initial public offering as early as 2026. Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, Anthropic has carved out a prominent position in the advanced AI landscape with its focus on building reliable, scalable and safe large language models that compete with offerings from other leading AI labs. The company has drawn significant backing from major technology players including Alphabet’s Google, Amazon and earlier strategic investors, and continues to attract global capital as it seeks to expand infrastructure, research and enterprise partnerships. #Anthropic #AIStartup #FundingRound #Valuation #ClaudeAI #ArtificialIntelligence #GIC #CoatueManagement #AIInvestment #TechFunding #GenerativeAI #EnterpriseAI #AIValuation #TechEcosystem #StartupFunding #AILeadership
