AI company Anthropic is in talks to raise at least $30 billion at a valuation of more than $900 billion, sources <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-12/anthropic-in-talks-to-raise-30-billion-at-900-billion-valuation">told</a> Bloomberg. If the deal goes through, it will be the largest funding round in the history of the Claude developer.

According to the agency's interlocutors, the round may close by the end of the month, but the final terms have not been agreed yet. The company is discussing participation with both new and existing investors.

The new valuation is being discussed amid the rapid growth in demand for Anthropic's products and the company's preparation for a possible IPO, which, as Bloomberg previously wrote, may take place in October. Rival AI giant OpenAI, which is also set to go public this year, raised funding in March at a valuation of $852 billion, the agency recalls.
