Each of these entities is contributing $1.5 billion, reported the Financial Times on Sunday. The funding round is expected to bring in over $25 billion, setting Anthropic's valuation at $350 billion, more than twice its $170 billion valuation from just four months ago. Tech giants **Microsoft** (NASDAQ:MSFT) and **Nvidia** (NASDAQ:NVDA) have pledged to invest up to $15 billion in total into the AI startup, with other investors contributing an additional $10 billion or more. Sequoia’s previous investments in AI include **OpenAI** and **Elon Musk**‘s **xAI**. Notably, the decision to invest in Anthropic comes after the departure of **Roelof Botha**, who was cautious about the high concentration of VC investment in a few highly valued startups. ## Anthropic Eyes Over 2026 IPO Anthropic’s valuation has been a topic of interest. The startup is reportedly planning an IPO in 2026, while also negotiating a funding round that could push its valuation above $300 billion. The company’s projected IPO and its valuation have been viewed as a potential indicator of the AI market’s true value. Despite the concerns about a potential bubble, Anthropic is targeting $20 billion–$26 billion in annual revenue in 2026. Anthropic is shifting focus from experimental use to developer tools and Claude-powered business workflows, aiming to convert hype into recurring, long-term revenue instead of short-term, churn-prone usage. Meanwhile, November reports suggested that **Google** (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) was planning a major investment in Anthropic, potentially valuing it over $350 billion. The deal, still under negotiation, could take the form of added cloud services, a convertible note, or a priced funding round early 2026. _Image via Shutterstock_ **_Disclaimer_:** _This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors._ ### 相关股票 - [YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NVDY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/NVDY.US.md) - [T-Rex 2X Long NVIDIA Daily Target ETF (NVDX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/NVDX.US.md) - [Alphabet (GOOGL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GOOGL.US.md) - [Direxion Daily NVDA Bull 2X Shares (NVDU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/NVDU.US.md) - [OpenAI (OpenAI.NA)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [Alphabet - C (GOOG.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GOOG.US.md) - [ISHRS S&P Glb It (IXN.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IXN.US.md) - [Direxion Daily MSFT Bull 2X Shares (MSFU.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MSFU.US.md) - [T-Rex 2X Long Microsoft Daily Target ETF (MSFX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MSFX.US.md) - [NVIDIA (NVDA.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/NVDA.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long MSFT Daily ETF (MSFL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MSFL.US.md) - [Microsoft (MSFT.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [Direxion Daily GOOGL Bull 2X Shares (GGLL.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/GGLL.US.md) - [iShares Expanded Tech Software Sector ETF (IGV.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/IGV.US.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Google's Nobel Prize-Winning AI Chief: 'We Don't Feel Any Pressure' While OpenAI Burns $14 Billion](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281220147.md) - [Microsoft released 3 new AI models, ramping up competition with its close partner, OpenAI](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281638046.md) - [Microsoft is sitting on a 'treasure chest' that could help lift the stock 20%](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281393638.md) - [Anthropic Announces Yet Another Internal Leak.
