The company said the new capital will be used to expand compute capacity, support safety and interpretability research, and scale products including Claude, Claude Code, and Cowork as enterprise demand continues rising. Anthropic added that its annualized revenue run rate surpassed $47 billion earlier this month as businesses increasingly deploy Claude across operational workflows and internal systems.
“Claude is increasingly indispensable to our growing global community of customers, and we work tirelessly to make tools like Claude Code and Cowork more helpful, more powerful, and more adaptable to their needs,” said Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao. “This funding will help us serve the historic demand we are experiencing, stay at the research frontier, and bring Claude to more of the places where work happens.”
A major focus of the announcement centered on infrastructure partnerships and compute expansion. Anthropic said it recently signed agreements with Amazon for up to five gigawatts of additional compute capacity, while Google and Broadcom will provide five gigawatts of next-generation TPU capacity. The company also disclosed a deal with SpaceX that gives Anthropic access to GPU infrastructure through Colossus 1 and Colossus 2.
Anthropic said Claude is now available across Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure, though the company noted AWS remains its primary cloud provider and training partner.
The funding round also brought in strategic hardware and semiconductor partners including Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix. Anthropic said those relationships will help support growing demand for memory, storage, and logic chips tied to Claude deployments and future model training.
The announcement reflects how aggressively AI companies are competing for long-term infrastructure access as demand for large-scale training and inference capacity continues climbing. Cloud providers, chipmakers, and AI developers have increasingly entered multibillion-dollar agreements tied to GPUs, power availability, and custom AI hardware.
Investors backing the round framed Anthropic as one of the leading companies positioned to benefit from expanding enterprise AI adoption. “Claude’s latest advancements have driven large-scale adoption among the world’s most demanding organizations. This momentum positions Anthropic to lead the next phase of AI innovation and capture the enormous opportunity ahead,” said Altimeter Capital founder and CEO Brad Gerstner.
Other investors emphasized Anthropic’s growing role inside business operations and enterprise software workflows. Dragoneer Managing Partner Marc Stad said Anthropic is helping push intelligence deeper into products and operations, while Sequoia Capital partner Alfred Lin said companies are increasingly using Claude to manage complex workflows and operational tasks.
The financing further strengthens Anthropic’s position among the most heavily funded companies in artificial intelligence as competition intensifies around enterprise adoption, model capabilities, and access to large-scale compute infrastructure.
