$30 billion in funding is just the starting point? Anthropic’s valuation could surpass $2 trillion by 2030

According to the Substack account Newcomer, prominent investment firm Coatue Management predicted in an internal investor presentation dated January that Anthropic’s valuation will surge to $1.995 trillion by 2030.

Per the Coatue PPT shared by Newcomer, Anthropic is projected to generate $18 billion in revenue in 2026, while still posting an EBITDA loss of $14 billion; its annual recurring revenue (ARR) is expected to reach $30 billion by year-end.

By 2031, the company’s revenue is forecast to leap to $200 billion, with EBITDA turning profitable at $48 billion and ARR climbing further to $224 billion.

Basing its estimate on a forward-looking EBITDA multiple of 41x, Coatue calculated a $1.995 trillion valuation for Anthropic in 2030—and hinted that this figure could rise further to $2.413 trillion in 2031.

In February this year, Anthropic completed a new funding round. Coatue and Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC co-led Anthropic’s $30 billion Series G financing round, which valued the company at $380 billion post-money. This round ranks among the largest in AI history; other participants included top-tier firms such as D.E. Shaw Ventures and Founders Fund. Philippe Laffont, Coatue’s founder, stated at the time that the firm has strong confidence in Anthropic’s strategic positioning in enterprise AI and agent-based coding.

However, Anthropic’s actual growth rate has already partially outpaced Coatue’s optimistic projections. In early March, the company’s ARR approached $20 billion—nearly doubling from $9 billion at the end of 2025—with particularly sharp month-on-month growth in February. Dario Amodei, Anthropic’s CEO, confirmed at a Morgan Stanley conference that products like Claude Code have made significant contributions, with enterprise customers accounting for as much as 80% of its customer base and a consumer-style billing model further amplifying revenue elasticity.

As OpenAI’s primary competitor, Anthropic is renowned for its “safe and reliable” AI philosophy, and its Claude series of models is rapidly gaining traction in coding and enterprise applications. Since 2025, weekly active users of Claude Code have doubled, and the share of code generated by Claude on GitHub has risen notably. The company achieved a meteoric rise from zero to $10 billion in revenue in under three years—outpacing the early growth rates of major cloud computing giants. The generative AI market is now entering an explosive growth phase, driven collectively by surging demand for data centers and computing power, along with enterprise digital transformation—fueling expectations of trillion-dollar-scale expansion.
