PYMNTS.com January 7, 2025

Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is reportedly in advanced talks to raise $2 billion in a funding round that would value it at $60 billion.

The $60 billion valuation would include the money the company plans to raise in the round, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported Tuesday (Jan. 7), citing unnamed sources.

Anthropic did not immediately reply to PYMNTS’ request for comment.

The reported valuation would also be an increase from the $18 billion at which the company was valued in a 2024 funding round and would make Anthropic the fifth-most valuable U.S. startup, according to the WSJ report.

Anthropic’s annualized revenue recently reached $875 million, per the report.
