Anthropic Attracts Investor Offers at an $800 Billion Valuation

Anthropic PBC has received several offers from investors for a new round of funding that could value the artificial intelligence startup at about $800 billion or higher — overtures that the Claude maker has so far resisted, according to people familiar with the matter.

The offers would more than double the $350 billion pre-money valuation Anthropic attached to its $30 billion fundraising in February. While Anthropic hasn’t ruled out raising new money in the coming months, according to one of the people, it’s not clear the company will accept investors’ terms or if it will raise at an $800 billion value.
