Anthropic closed a $65 billion Series H at a $965 billion valuation — with $47B in annualized revenue as of May 2026 — making it the most valued AI lab in the West, backed by Sequoia, Altimeter, and cloud compute deals with Google, Broadcom, and SpaceX totaling over 10 gigawatts.
Details
Anthropic has completed a $65 billion Series H financing round, pushing its valuation to $965 billion — just shy of a trillion dollars. The round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital, and includes $15 billion from cloud providers, of which Amazon contributed $5 billion. CFO Krishna Rao disclosed that annualized revenue crossed $47 billion in May 2026, confirming rapid commercial scale. Funds will go toward safety research, additional computing capacity, and expanding the product portfolio — specifically naming Claude Code and Cowork as growth areas. Anthropic also signed capacity agreements with Google, Broadcom, and SpaceX for a combined 10+ gigawatts of compute, with semiconductor partners Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix taking strategic stakes. On distribution, Anthropic says Claude is the first Western frontier AI model available simultaneously on all three major cloud platforms: AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure — a multicloud positioning that matters for enterprise customers. At $47B annualized revenue and a near-trillion valuation, Anthropic has crossed a threshold: it is now a commercial AI platform operating at a scale that rivals OpenAI, not a research lab with a side product.
