Anthropic is looking to raise $10 billion and double its valuation

Anthropic, the startup that developed the Claude chatbot, is looking to raise $10 billion, which will put the company's valuation at $350 billion, sources told The Wall Street Journal. Such a value is almost double the startup's previous valuation. In September, it received an investment of $13 billion and a valuation of $183 billion.

According to WSJ, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and investment company Coatue Management plan to lead the new round of financing. The round is expected to close in the coming weeks. At the same time, the volume of the deal may still change, the publication points out.

Anthropic is one of the candidates for a public offering this year. The Financial Times reported in early December, citing sources, that the company was in preliminary talks about an IPO. However, the newspaper specified that the startup was also considering an additional private funding round.
