According to the latest media reports, Moonshot AI is launching a new funding round, planning to raise up to $2 billion, which would value the startup at $30 billion. Insiders revealed that the company has initiated preliminary contacts with potential investors, seeking to raise over $1 billion. The timing is quite delicate—this new funding round comes as the previous round, led by Meituan with a post-money valuation of $20 billion, is still in the final stages and has not yet officially closed. Insiders stated that details of the new funding round may still change, and relevant parties requested anonymity due to the private nature of the information. A spokesperson for Moonshot AI did not respond to requests for comment. If this funding round is successfully completed, **Moonshot AI's valuation will increase approximately sevenfold from about $4.3 billion last December, surpassing its competitor MiniMax (with a market cap of approximately $20 billion)**, but still trailing behind Zhipu AI's valuation of around $80 billion, and DeepSeek's sought valuation of approximately $50 billion in its initial funding round. ## Revenue as Confidence: ARR Doubles in Two Months Supporting this series of fundraisings is the rapid growth in Moonshot AI's revenue. According to Bloomberg, Moonshot AI's Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) exceeded $200 million in April this year. As previously reported in a Wallstreetcn article, Wang Xinyu, a partner at Meituan DragonBall, stated that ARR had just surpassed $100 million in early March this year, doubling within two months, with both paid subscriptions and API calls accelerating in growth. The direct trigger for this growth was the launch of Kimi Claw in January this year—a product driven by the K2.5 model that supports one-click deployment of cloud-based intelligent agents, making Moonshot AI one of the first companies in China to commercially implement "AI Agents." According to data from the global payment platform Stripe, Kimi's revenue in the nearly 20 days since late January this year has exceeded the total for all of 2025; the number of paid orders from individual subscribers increased by over 8,000% month-on-month in January, and rose by more than 120% month-on-month in February, placing it among the top ten globally on Stripe's rankings. ## Moonshot AI's Fundraising Process is Concentrated and Intensive In November last year, the company completed a funding round of approximately $500 million, with a valuation of about $4.3 billion. From January to February this year, the company sequentially completed three funding rounds, with amounts of $500 million, $700 million, and $700 million respectively. The valuation gradually rose from $10 billion to approximately $18 billion. Existing shareholders Alibaba, Tencent, and 5Y Capital all participated and increased their investments in the round valued at $10 billion. In May this year, Moonshot AI is set to complete another new funding round of approximately $2 billion, pushing the post-money valuation above $20 billion. And if the current $2 billion funding round is completed, Moonshot AI's post-money valuation is expected to exceed $30 billion. ### Related Stocks - [MPNGY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MPNGY.US.md) - [03690.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03690.HK.md) - [09988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09988.HK.md) - [BABA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BABA.US.md) - [00700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00700.HK.md) - [83690.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/83690.HK.md) - [HMTD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HMTD.SG.md) - [89988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/89988.HK.md) - [HBBD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HBBD.SG.md) - [TCEHY.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCEHY.US.md) - [80700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/80700.HK.md) - [HTCD.SG](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HTCD.SG.md) - [TCTZF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TCTZF.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Meituan’s reset starts with narrower delivery losses](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288995075.md) - [Unitree IPO approved, Meituan-backed group emerges as top shareholder](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288374409.md) - [Key facts: Meituan Q1 revenue +5.6%; RMB6.8bn loss, RMB3.6bn fine](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288340636.md) - [Meituan Returns to Loss in Q1 2026 as Retail-Focused Strategy Reshapes Revenue Mix](https://longbridge.com/en/news/288243919.md) - [Peloton Is Down 2% in 2026.
