Anthropic is reportedly closing a funding round exceeding $30 billion. This investment pushes the startup’s valuation beyond $900 billion.

The move makes Anthropic the world’s most valuable private AI company, surpassing OpenAI. Several investment firms are co-leading the round with individual contributions of approximately $2 billion.

This valuation underscores an intensifying capital race within the generative AI sector. The massive scale of funding places significant pressure on established tech giants and rival startups.

The event signals a new peak in the AI investment cycle. These developments may influence strategic decisions and M&A activity for major tech ETFs, including QQQ, VGT, and XLK.
