AI company Anthropic now boasts a valuation of 183 billion, placing it as Germany's third-largest corporate entity.

In a significant move for the artificial intelligence (AI) industry, US-based startup Anthropic has secured a massive $13 billion in a Series F funding round. This round was led by Iconiq Capital, with notable investors including Fidelity, Lightspeed, Qatar Investment Authority, Blackstone, Coatue, and others participating.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic primarily positions itself as an AI security company, according to Guillaume Princen, its European chief. The company's approach to building AI has a fundamentally European aspect, as stated by Princen.

In the spring of 2021, Anthropic announced plans for significant European expansion, aiming to fill over 100 new positions. This expansion includes an increased focus on AI security and ethical development.

In March 2025, Anthropic's valuation was $61.5 billion. However, after the recent funding round, the company's valuation has surged to an impressive $183 billion, making it more valuable than SAP and Siemens in Germany.

Anthropic's revenue grew from $1 billion to over $5 billion in 2025. The company is now counted as one of the major players in the global AI race.

In a notable development, Anthropic was added to the list of approved vendors for the US government in August 2025. Moreover, the company now offers its services to public institutions for a symbolic dollar in the US.

The expansion of Anthropic in Europe and its focus on AI security and ethical development position the company as a key player in shaping the future of AI. With its strong financial backing and commitment to responsible AI development, Anthropic is poised to make significant contributions to the AI industry.
