Anthropic closes latest funding round above $10 billion and could go higher, sources say
The funding round could rise if Microsoft and Nvidia decide to contribute, according to sources familiar with the discussions.
www.cnbc.comHere’s a quick update on the latest publicly reported developments around Anthropic and its funding rounds.
- Anthropic was widely reported in early 2026 to be finalizing a funding round that could exceed $20 billion, with some sources suggesting a close in the near term and a valuation around $350 billion. This reflects a shift from an initial target of about $10 billion due to strong investor interest. [Source coverage includes Bloomberg/Reuters reports cited in late January–early February 2026 timelines.][2][3]
- Earlier reporting indicated that the round could include significant commitments from major tech and investment players, and that the total could potentially rise if additional strategic investors participated. [Multiple outlets noted participation from firms such as Microsoft, Nvidia, Coatue, and others, with variation in the final size mentioned depending on the source.][5][2]
- In contrast, a separate news item from March 2025 confirmed a substantial round valuing Anthropic at about $61.5 billion, but that was a different fundraising instance from a previous period and not the 2026 mega-round described above. [Newer 2026 coverage builds on that trajectory but is focused on a much larger round.][4]
