Anthropic, the company behind Claude, is reportedly in discussions to secure USD 10 billion in its latest fundraising round. This would significantly boost its valuation to USD 350 billion.

GIC, Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, and Coatue Management will spearhead this new financing. The final amount of the funding could vary, as per a press release, with Microsoft and Nvidia—previously committed to investing USD 15 billion together—expected to join as well.

A USD 10 Billion Fundraising Effort

This level of funding would mark a substantial increase in Anthropic’s valuation. Previously, the startup garnered USD 13 billion from investors in September 2025, valuing it at USD 183 billion, which underscored its significance as a valuable tech entity.

The company was established in 2021 by former OpenAI employees and has positioned itself as a safety-focused alternative that users can trust. Like its counterpart, Anthropic is ramping up investment in chips and data centers to develop advanced AI systems and promote the use of this technology.

In contrast, OpenAI reportedly valued at USD 500 billion through a secondary share sale last year after talks with investors for billions of dollars on a valuation of USD 750 billion. Nevertheless, Anthropic’s current round is currently seen as the largest megafunding event to date in the AI startup domain.

In July 2025, the firm introduced an edition of Claude tailored for regulated financial institutions. This version supports market research, due diligence, and investment decision-making. It is aimed at aiding financial firms with tasks such as financial modeling, trading system modernization, risk assessment, and compliance automation. The product includes pre-built MCP connectors that provide seamless access to enterprise and market data platforms, delivering a unified interface alongside internal and external financial data sources like Databricks and Snowflake.
