Anthropic, the AI safety company behind the Claude family of models, has surpassed a $30 billion annualised revenue run rate — a staggering increase from the approximately $9 billion reported at the end of 2025, representing growth of more than 1,400% year-over-year. The milestone was announced alongside the company’s disclosure that more than 1,000 business customers are now each spending over $1 million annually on Claude — a number that doubled in less than two months since the company’s $30 billion Series G funding round closed in February 2026.
A $380 Billion Company
Anthropic’s Series G round, which closed in February 2026, raised $30 billion at a post-money valuation of $380 billion — making it the second-largest venture funding deal of all time. The round was led by Singapore’s GIC and investment firm Coatue, with co-leads including D.E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, Founders Fund, ICONIQ, and MGX. Institutional heavyweights including BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and the Qatar Investment Authority also participated.
Claude Code Driving Revenue Growth
Claude Code — Anthropic’s AI coding assistant — has emerged as a particularly powerful revenue driver. The product now generates over $2.5 billion in annualised run-rate revenue, and its revenue has doubled since early 2026. Weekly active users of Claude Code have also doubled since January 1, and Anthropic reports that approximately 4% of all public commits on GitHub are now authored by Claude Code. Enterprise use accounts for more than half of all Claude Code revenue.
Serving the World’s Biggest Companies
Eight of the world’s ten largest companies — the Fortune 10 — are now using Claude in production environments. The company’s CFO Krishna Rao stated: “Claude is increasingly becoming critical to how businesses work.” Anthropic also signed its largest-ever compute agreement — a deal with Google and Broadcom for access to 3.5 gigawatts of new Google TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips — signalling an enormous appetite for AI inference capacity as its customer base scales.
Project Glasswing: AI for Cybersecurity
Separately, Anthropic recently launched Project Glasswing — a cybersecurity initiative in partnership with Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia aimed at identifying and fixing high-severity software vulnerabilities using AI. The project reflects Anthropic’s growing investment in AI safety applications beyond consumer and enterprise productivity.
