Anthropic raises $13 billion, now valued at $183 billion
Anthropic, the startup behind the Claude AI chatbot, said it has completed a $13 billion round of fundraising.
The Series F round gives the company a valuation of $183 billion, securing its place in the elite group of leading AI startups alongside OpenAI and xAI.
The round was led by ICONIQ along with Fidelity Management & Research and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Other investors in this round included the Qatar Investment Authority, BlackRock, and Blackstone.
Anthropic is reportedly closing in on $5 billion in annualized revenue, but is burning through cash at an high rate, as the cost of running its Claude models grows. The Information reported that the company expects to burn $3 billion this year, after burning $5.6 billion in 2024.
Amazon has invested $8 billion in the startup, and Anthropic also counts Google and Qualcomm as investors.
