Anthropic has given investors 48 hours to submit allocation requests for its next funding round. Sources close to the matter say the company aims to secure commitments that would value it at over $900 billion. The round could close within two weeks if demand matches expectations.
The request targets major institutional investors and private equity firms. They must confirm their interest and proposed investment amounts by the deadline. Anthropic’s last valuation in October 2025 stood at $184 billion. This new round would represent a more than fourfold increase if completed at the higher valuation.
Industry analysts note that Anthropic’s push comes as competition in the AI sector intensifies. Competitors such as OpenAI and Mistral AI have also pursued aggressive fundraising in recent months. The timing suggests Anthropic is positioning itself to lead the next wave of AI infrastructure development.
The company has not publicly commented on the fundraising details. A spokesperson declined to provide further information when contacted. Investors who fail to respond by the deadline may receive smaller allocations or none at all.
If successful, the round would make Anthropic one of the most valuable private companies in the world. Its backers include Amazon, Google, and Salesforce, which participated in prior funding rounds.
