Anthropic seeks $900B valuation to top OpenAI
anthropic is negotiating a $900 billion valuation led by sequoia and dragoneer, surpassing openai for the first time as annualized revenue hits $45 billion.
anthropic is negotiating a funding round that would value the company at $900 billion, nearly triple its january valuation and higher than openai's current $850 billion worth. lead investors sequoia capital, dragoneer, and altimeter capital are committing at least $2 billion each, while previous backers amazon and google are sitting out. this valuation is driven by explosive revenue growth, with annualized sales projected to reach $45 billion soon, up fivefold from late 2025. the surge stems from increased consumption of agentic ai workflows and higher pricing for the company's models.
