Anthropic, the artificial intelligence (AI) firm, has hit a $1trn valuation according to the financial platform Forge Global, which allows investors to acquire shares from private companies.
The valuation figure is significantly higher than the $380bn that Anthropic was valued at during a funding round just three months ago.
“It’s been an epic run for Anthropic. Everybody wants to be part of a generational opportunity in AI, and right now, Anthropic is in the pole position.”
Glen Anderson, CEO, Rainmaker Securities
At present ChatGPT creator OpenAI is trading at around $880bn on Forge Global, roughly equivalent to its $852bn valuation from its most recent funding round.
The inflated value of Anthropic, which owns the Claude chatbot, may come from the shortage of available shares, with shareholders allegedly being inundated with unsolicited offers for their stakes.
“Just got offered a $1.05trn valuation on my Anthropic shares from a very well known growth fund.”
Jesse Leimgruber, Investor, Anthropic
Investor interest has been sparked by Anthropic’s revenue growth, which has increased rapidly since mass adoption of its Claude Code tool among developers, as well as partnerships with technology giants like Amazon and Palantir.
“It’s almost less about the return than being able to say they’re an Anthropic investor. We receive daily offers, from the ridiculous to the sublime.”
Bradley Horowitz, Partner, Wisdom Ventures
The firm’s annualised run rate increased from $9bn in late 2025 to $39bn in March 2026, according to figures reported by Business Insider.
