Anthropic revenue run rate tops $65 billion, source says

Aug 17 (Reuters) - Anthropic's ‌annual revenue ​run ​rate topped $65 billion by the end of July, a person familiar with the matter said ‌on Monday, underscoring the Claude creator's rapid ⁠growth ahead of a potential public listing later this year.

The AI ‌startup's latest revenue run ‌rate — a metric that projects annual performance by extrapolating current sales levels — was up from the $47 ​billion in May and an extraordinary jump from about $9 billion at the end of 2025.

The company ⁠had shared the latest figure with investors as part of ongoing financial ​updates, the person said. Bloomberg first reported the development earlier on Monday.

Here are more details:

• ​Anthropic is projecting 2028 revenue ‌of roughly $190 billion to $200 billion, with its IPO valuation hinging on those forecasts, Reuters ⁠reported on Friday.

• The company has emerged as an AI frontrunner as its Claude coding agent gains traction ⁠among developers, helping the company draw steady enterprise dollars.

• Anthropic earlier ​this year confidentially filed for an IPO, as the startup and rival OpenAI race to make their market debuts amid ‌strong investor appetite for AI firms.

• Anthropic was valued at $965 billion in May after ‌raising $65 billion in its Series H funding round, ⁠more than double its $380 ‌billion valuation in ​February.
