Anthropic $900B Valuation: In Talks for $30B Round Led by Dragoneer and Sequoia — Revenue Jumped From $9B to $44B Annualized, IPO Possible October 2026
Bloomberg reported May 12 that Anthropic is in talks to raise at least $30 billion at a $900 billion pre-money valuation, which would nearly triple its February $380B valuation and surpass OpenAI's $852B. The round is expected to close by end of May, co-led by Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia, and Altimeter. Annualized revenue grew from $9B to over $44B with gross margins above 70%. An IPO is being considered for October 2026. For builders: this signals Claude infrastructure investment is accelerating, not plateauing — compute capacity and API availability should keep expanding.
