Anthropic Nears Twenty Billion Dollar Funding Round

Anthropic is reportedly close to finalizing a $20 billion-plus funding round that would value the AI startup at about $350 billion, Bloomberg reported Feb. 6. The round follows a $13 billion raise five months earlier and accompanies the company’s release of Claude Opus 4.6 and a reported revenue run rate above $9 billion last summer. The move intensifies enterprise AI competition with OpenAI’s recent agent platform offerings.
