- > Since our Series G in February, adoption has continued to grow across global enterprise customers, and our run-rate revenue crossed $47 billion earlier this month.
OK, so their self-reported run-rate revenue hit $47bn in early May.
For comparison:
Apr 6th 2026: https://www.anthropic.com/news/google-broadcom-partnership-c... - "Demand from Claude customers has accelerated in 2026. Our run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion—up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025."
So that's $30bn at the start of April.
Feb 12th 2026: https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-30-billion-s... - "Today, our run-rate revenue is $14 billion, with this figure growing over 10x annually in each of those past three years."
That was $14bn on Feb 12th.
And $9bn in December (according to the above April 6th link.)

- Anthropic has a great product, but what's going on in the stock market is astonishing. Companies waiting to be valued at a trillion dollars before going public? (I'm writing this comment with the assumption that they will go public soon and the valuation will be higher than this $965 billion dollar private valuation) The stock market used to be a place for companies to raise money from investors. But that isn't what it is anymore, it's a dumping ground. Venture capitalists & private investors are sucking all of the possible growth and future upside from these companies and then dumping them on retail investors when there's nothing left. There is no growth or upside left by the time these companies go public. If you invest in these IPOs you are buying the absolute peak with all potential future profits baked into the price, with nowhere left to go but down.
- Deepseek MiMo and Qwen are now dirt cheap and give out free as well with quality about 95% against the very best so called fable mythos. And all that is on Huawei 7nm Ascend. All those companies added up nowhere near 1T and they affect EVERY SINGLE American lives producing parts that Americans used either via patents or parts. And we throw money to Anthropic with almost no moats at best 6 mths ahead. While Chinese companies holding patents more than Google Microsoft combined and with market bigger than entire USA economy. I think maybe investors too are hallucinating like AI. Sound like mega Lehman Groupon in the making!

- I’m sorry, H? How much farther down the alphabet do they plan to go before anyone gets any of that money back?

- Insane evaluation - Anthropic being around 50% of the Norwegian oil fund.
- The amount of dollars that exist in this economy is mindblowing.
Ten years ago, we were talking millions, and this was already incredible when companies could raise a couple of them.
Now, headlines are only about hundred of billions. I do not know what to think about that, apart from the fact that I wish that we were putting that money to enhance human lives in general. Of course, people will say that these tools will help humans in the future, but 1) at what costs, and 2) I would prefer, I don't know, bridges or infrastructure, or free healthcare, or food for everyone.
- What is run-rate revenue and how is it different than revenue (classic)?
- That you all have to pay of course. With interest. Directly or indirectly. Through subscriptions or through pension funds and such.
- Probably the bigger headline here is that they’ve blown past OpenAI in revenue and valuation, with OpenAI looking increasingly shaky and vulnerable.
- So close to being the first kilocorn. A unicorn = 1 billion, this is almost 1k.

- Until Anthropic, OpenAI, and Tesla have IPOs and are then bound by some laws to be truthful, I don’t want to bother about their possible valuations.
I do care about: how useful their products are vs. cost and how secure are their businesses. Actually I only care about the first thing since these services are hot swap-able with some effort.

- Say you join Anthropic now as an employee. What are the chances of your equity appreciating in value? I don't think we have any historical precedents to this.

- I wish I could invest into it, I'd at the very least have invested in their Series F. It was a no brainer by that point. If anyone could teach me how to get into stuff like this, that'd be awesome. I'm from the Netherlands, so not American. Though I'm married to an American.

- As someone who knows admittedly knows nothing about startup funding rounds, how many more rounds of funding can they do before an IPO? Is it effectively infinite?
- This is all getting a bit tiring. Show us the S1 already!

- Well the market clearly thinks most of us will be without software engineering jobs by the end of the decade. There's clearly enough proof that the trend is heading in that direction to justify huge capital investments.
- Boys we got more subsidy for Claude Code Plans! Let the VC financed spending of 1000$ of datacenter cost for 200$ sales price continue!

- Smart move from Anthropic.
They're the belle of the ball right now, everybody is talking about them, everybody wants to invest in them, so they can call the shots.
Then they'll have money in the bank for a long time no matter what happens – IPO, market downturn, etc.
Takes off lots of pressure so they can continue focusing on the product.
- This did round involve a secondary? If yes, any data to suggest that these secondaries are leading to increased spending outside of housing and propping up the local economy?
- I wonder if the investors used Claude to see whether they should invest or not hmm..
- Everything will be clearer after they IPO
Until they IPO and the investors make their money, who knows what is behind the revenue stated
- Does this mean no IPO this year? What are the likely chances a company at this stage needs two rounds of funding within a year?
- That announcement is a bit short on details. I suppose that, like in the previous rounds, there are some strings attached and they'll not get all of it at once.
Hynix is participating with a new circular deal. Hynix is also valued at $1 trillion now, which is positively insane.
This scam will implode harder that the housing bubble.
