Anthropic Eyes $20B Financing Closing by March 04, Valuation Reaches $350B

Anthropic, the Claude chatbot maker, is finalizing a funding round expected to raise more than $20 billion, with the deal slated to close as early as March 4, 2026, according to a Bloomberg report citing sources. The round would more than double the initial $10 billion target, pushing the company’s valuation to $350 billion. Reuters could not verify the report, and the company has not yet commented. The accelerated fundraising reflects strong investor interest and is likely to close within the coming week, potentially reshaping Anthropic’s capital structure and strategic priorities.
