Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has secured a massive $65 billion investment in its latest Series H funding round, taking the company’s post-money valuation to $965 billion as of May 28, 2026. The valuation now places Anthropic ahead of OpenAI, which was last valued at $852 billion in March this year.
The funding marks another major development in the rapidly expanding AI industry, where companies are aggressively investing in advanced infrastructure and large-scale AI systems to strengthen their market position. Anthropic said the fresh capital will be used to increase computing capacity, support the growing demand for its AI chatbot Claude, and accelerate the expansion of its products and services.
The sharp rise in valuation reflects increasing investor confidence in generative AI technologies as adoption continues to grow across businesses, enterprises, and digital platforms worldwide. AI-powered assistants are becoming an important part of workplace productivity, automation, and content generation, leading companies to rapidly scale their operations and technological capabilities.
Anthropic’s chatbot Claude has witnessed growing popularity among users looking for advanced conversational AI tools. The company’s latest funding round also highlights the intensifying competition in the AI sector, especially between Anthropic and OpenAI, as both companies continue pushing for leadership in one of the fastest-growing technology markets globally.
Industry experts believe the ongoing investment surge in artificial intelligence could further accelerate innovation, infrastructure expansion, and commercial AI integration in the coming years. The competition among major AI firms is expected to shape the future direction of the global technology landscape. Anthropic said it aims to “bolster computing capacity to meet growing demand for chatbot Claude and scale its products.”
The new valuation officially moves the company ahead of OpenAI in the global AI race, underlining the rapidly increasing financial strength of next-generation artificial intelligence firms.
