Anthropic’s Funding Surge: $61B to $380B in Under a Year
In early 2025, Anthropic raised $3.5 billion in a Series E round at a $61.5 billion valuation, followed by a completed $13 billion Series F in September at a $183 billion valuation.
On the infrastructure front, Anthropic secured a multi-billion dollar cloud partnership with Google in October 2025, gaining access to up to one million Tensor Processing Units. Product launches also accelerated, with Anthropic launching Cowork in January 2026 and Claude Opus 4.6 in early February.
Gartner’s Agentic AI Forecast: Mainstream by 2028
Gartner predicted that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, up from less than 1% in 2024, enabling 15% of day-to-day work decisions to be made autonomously.
Enterprise platforms now provide foundational capabilities that turn AI experiments into operational systems. Real platforms must deliver multi-model orchestration, allowing organizations to use, compare and switch across open or proprietary models as costs, speed and performance shift.
Inside the Claude Ecosystem
The funding supports continued expansion of Anthropic's product portfolio, including:
| Offering | What It Delivers |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Agentic coding tool with $2.5B+ run-rate revenue |
| Cowork | Knowledge work platform with 11 open-source plugins |
| Opus 4.6 | Latest model for documents, spreadsheets and presentations |
| Claude for Enterprise | HIPAA-compliant offering for healthcare organizations |
| Multi-cloud availability | Runs on AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex AI and Azure Foundry |
Claude Code business subscriptions quadrupled since early 2026, with enterprise use representing over half of revenue. An analysis estimated 4% of all GitHub public commits worldwide were authored by Claude Code.
