Anthropic raises a further $30 billion of investments, MGX among the backers

After reports of a $20 billion funding round at $350 billion valuation, it was confirmed that Anthropic has just secured $30 billion in fresh funding, pushing the valuation of the Claude chatbot developer to $380 billion, more than double its previous level and highlighting strong investor appetite for both the company and the broader artificial intelligence sector.

The company has set itself apart by emphasizing coding as a primary use case for its product. Its Claude Code product has gained significant traction among developers, helping Anthropic strengthen its position in the enterprise AI market relative to competitors.

The newly announced funding round, disclosed on Thursday, was co-led by D. E. Shaw Ventures, ICONIQ, and, notably, the UAE’s MGX. It also incorporated a portion of previously revealed investments from Microsoft and Nvidia.

In September 2025, Anthropic, which counts Google and Amazon among its backers, raised $13 billion in a Series F round, valuing the company at $183 billion. Thus, the company has doubled its valuation in 5 months.

Anthropic’s recent introduction of a series of plugins for its Claude Cowork AI agent contributed to a sharp selloff in global software stocks, as investors weighed the potential disruption sophisticated AI systems could bring to the sector.

The company has rapidly expanded its revenue. Anthropic said its current annualized revenue run rate stands at $14 billion. Revenue tied specifically to Claude Code has climbed to more than $2.5 billion on a run-rate basis, more than doubling since the beginning of 2026, pushed by subscriptions to Claude Code for business users quadrupling in the same span of time. Enterprise customers now account for more than half of total Claude Code revenue, according to the company.

Anthropic has also intensified its focus on corporate clients through offerings such as the Claude Cowork AI agent, designed to carry out computer-based tasks for white-collar professionals.

At this time, MGX’s contributions to this funding round are not yet known. Previous reports suggested that the Abu Dhabi-based company is willing to invest “hundreds of millions” at the $350 billion valuation.

MGX was established in 2024 through a partnership between Abu Dhabi-based AI company G42 and sovereign wealth fund Mubadala. Its mandate is to invest in artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies, and it holds stakes in OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, and in Elon Musk’s xAI.
