AI startup Anthropic announced on Thursday a new fundraising round that saw $30 million raised, giving the company a fresh post-money valuation of $380 billion, as per an official press release. 

The update comes after reports that the firm was planning an investment round, but initial estimates pegged the value of the potential round at $10 billion at a post-money valuation of $300 billion. 

“Whether it is entrepreneurs, startups, or the world’s largest enterprises, the message from our customers is the same: Claude is increasingly becoming more critical to how businesses work,” said Anthropic’s CFO, Krishna Rao.

Anthropic is currently on an expansion spree, both in tech offerings and physical presence, with an updated version of its Opus AI model called Claude Opus 4.6 rolled out last week, and multiple offices opened last year.

Elon Musk commented on the announcement on X, saying, “Your AI hates Whites & Asians, especially Chinese, heterosexuals, and men. This is misanthropic and evil. Fix it. Frankly, I don’t think there is anything you can do to escape the inevitable irony of Anthropic ending up being Misanthropic. You were doomed to this fate when you chose your name. The Name of the Wind.”
