Anthropic confirmed a $30B round, not a $65B raise at $900B value

In short: Anthropic’s only confirmed recent funding is a $30 billion round valuing it at $380 billion, while a $900 billion valuation has only been mentioned as a possible figure in ongoing talks.

What happened

Anthropic has not publicly announced that it raised $65 billion or that it is valued at $900 billion. Those numbers have circulated, but they are not backed by a completed deal in the information currently available.

What is confirmed is a funding round Anthropic announced on February 12, 2026. The company said it raised $30 billion in a Series G round, led by GIC and Coatue. Anthropic said the round valued the company at $380 billion after the money was invested, which is called a post money valuation (think of it like the company’s price tag right after a new investor buys in).

A separate report has discussed the idea of a much higher valuation. A Bloomberg segment, referenced in wider coverage, said Anthropic was weighing another round that could value it at more than $900 billion. But the report also said there was no signed term sheet, meaning no final agreement yet (like negotiating a house price before a contract is signed).

Why it matters

Big valuation numbers can shape public perception, but they do not always mean money has actually changed hands. For people watching the AI industry, the key difference is between a closed funding round, which is confirmed and filed, and a possible future deal, which can change or fall apart. It also affects comparisons to rivals like OpenAI, since only confirmed valuations are solid.
