Anthropic Seeks $1B+ Funding as Revenue Doubles to $9B, NVDA and MSFT Commit $15B

Anthropic is raising at least $1 billion in an oversubscribed funding round led by Coatue Management and Singapore's GIC, with investor commitments surpassing the AI startup's $10 billion target. The company's annualized revenue doubled to over $9 billion by December 2025 from $4 billion in July 2025. Coatue and GIC are each investing approximately $1.5 billion, while Iconiq Capital, which led the prior round, commits at least $1 billion. Strategic investors Nvidia (NVDA-US) and Microsoft (MSFT-US) have pledged about $15 billion combined, bringing the total round size past $20 billion. The funding reflects strong enterprise demand for Anthropic's Claude AI models, which support autonomous coding for up to 30 hours. The company plans $50 billion in U.S. data center investments as the AI industry faces $3 trillion in infrastructure spending over the next five years.
