Research memo 2026-09-09. Company Anthropic (https://www.anthropic.com/) plus disclosed equity/strategic rounds. Founders: Dario Amodei (CEO), Daniela Amodei (President), Jared Kaplan, Jack Clark, Chris Olah, Tom Brown, Sam McCandlish. Rounds on the profile (primary company announcements where possible) - 2021-05 $120M — existing Adex Series A row (Eric Schmidt + Jaan Tallinn). Official Series A is often $124M on 2021-05-28 (Moskovitz/Tallinn). Did not duplicate. - 2022-04-29 $580M Series B — FTX / SBF commonly cited lead at ~$4B. Some databases $490M. - 2023-05-23 $450M Series C — Spark lead; Google, Salesforce Ventures, Sound Ventures, Zoom Ventures. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-series-c - 2023-09-25 up to $4B Amazon — https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-amazon (tranched; ceiling). - 2023-10-27 ~$2B Google — widely reported additional Google stake; not a dedicated Anthropic news URL with that exact figure. - 2024-01 $750M Series D — Menlo lead, ~$18B. Reused existing Adex row. - 2024-11-22 $4B Amazon — second tranche; cumulative Amazon ~$8B before 2026. - 2025-01-22 $1B Google — corporate round in funding databases. - 2025-03 $3.5B Series E — Lightspeed lead, ~$61.5B post. Reused existing row. - 2025-09 $13B Series F — ICONIQ lead; Fidelity and Lightspeed co-lead; $183B post. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-series-f-at-usd183b-post-money-valuation - 2025-11-18 Microsoft up to $5B and NVIDIA up to $10B — separate commitment rows. https://www.anthropic.com/news/microsoft-nvidia-anthropic-announce-strategic-partnerships. Series G later includes a portion of these. - 2026-02 $30B Series G — GIC and Coatue lead; $380B post. https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-30-billion-series-g-funding-380-billion-post-money-valuation - 2026-04-20 $5B Amazon — https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-amazon-compute (up to $20B more later). This $5B is also inside Series H's $15B previously committed hyperscaler capital — do not sum H + this $5B as incremental. - 2026-05-28 $65B Series H — Altimeter, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia lead; $965B post. Co-leads Capital Group, Coatue, D1, GIC, ICONIQ, XN. Includes $15B previously committed (incl. $5B Amazon). Chip partners Micron, Samsung, SK hynix named; not booked as cash equity without a stated check. https://www.anthropic.com/news/series-h Not booked as equity rounds - Secondaries (e.g. 2024 MVP / G Squared). - $2.5B debt (May 2025). - Google/Broadcom TPU GW deal and SpaceX Colossus compute — capacity, not priced equity. - Anthropic's own $50B US infrastructure spend (Fluidstack) — Anthropic deploying capital, not a raise. - PitchBook lists ~300 investors; only official-post leads and named significant investors were attached. - Dustin Moskovitz not added (no unique verified profile used). Sam Bankman-Fried not added as a person; FTX is the Series B vehicle. Do not sum every row as "total raised": Amazon/Google/Microsoft/NVIDIA commitments overlap later series, use "up to" language, and mix equity with compute credits.
