#Anthropic估值达9650亿美元 Valuation of 6.5 trillion! The new AI king ascends

The world's most valuable AI startup officially changes hands.
On May 28, AI company Anthropic, founded by Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela, officially announced: completing Series H funding of $65 billion, with post-investment valuation soaring to $965 billion (approximately 6.5 trillion RMB).
This figure is $113 billion higher than the $852 billion valuation just finalized by their old rival OpenAI two months ago. Even more shocking is that this epic funding round was completed in just a few weeks from start to finish.
Originally, Anthropic planned to raise only $30 billion, but the enthusiasm from top global capital was so overwhelming that the funding scale more than doubled.
1. Unprecedented growth rate
Behind the rapid funding speed is Anthropic’s exponential revenue growth curve.
July 2025: Annualized revenue of $4 billion
End of 2025: $9 billion
February 2026: $14 billion
May 2026: $47 billion
Expected by the end of June 2026: surpassing $50 billion
This means that over the past 11 months, Anthropic’s annualized revenue has increased by 11.5 times. The company’s daily new revenue reaches as high as $96 million. More importantly, the quality of growth is extremely high. Anthropic expects revenue in Q2 2026 to reach $10.9 billion, doubling from Q1, and it will also mark the company’s first profitable quarter since its founding.
Meanwhile, the company's gross profit margin has jumped sharply from 38% a year ago to over 70%, entering the high-margin tier of the high-end software industry, completely breaking the industry’s "losses for growth through computing power" curse.
2. $65 billion, 90% invested in computing power
Holding a huge $65 billion in funding, Anthropic’s plan is very clear: over 90% of the funds will be invested entirely in building computing infrastructure.
In today’s AI race, computing power is battlefield strength. Whoever has more GPUs can train better models and support more users. Anthropic is collaborating with the three major cloud giants—Amazon, Google, and Microsoft—to integrate the world’s top computing resources. In this funding round, Amazon fulfilled its $5 billion investment commitment, and Google also invested billions of dollars. Notably, Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix also participated in this round of funding. Although the investment amounts were not disclosed, their participation indicates that the three major storage giants have become core suppliers for Anthropic’s hardware supply chain.
3. Anthropic’s rise marks the end of the era where OpenAI was the sole leader in the global AI industry, entering a new cycle of dual competition.
In this era where computing power rules, Anthropic has already seized the most strategic high ground with products like Claude Code. Facing Anthropic’s aggressive push, OpenAI has begun adjusting its strategy. It has proactively scaled back its side businesses, abandoned non-core activities that disperse focus, and concentrated resources on competing with Claude Code’s Codex programming software, aiming to regain the developer market.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s SpaceX is also entering the AI track, planning to acquire the coding AI company Cursor, further intensifying industry competition. The race in the capital markets has also reached a fever pitch. OpenAI is expected to secretly submit a listing draft within days, with plans to go public as early as September; Anthropic plans to push for an IPO in fall 2026.
Whoever goes public first will gain a huge first-mover advantage and brand influence. This trillion-dollar AI war has only just begun.
