Overview
- The Financial Times reported that Sequoia will participate alongside Singapore’s GIC and U.S. investor Coatue in a new Anthropic raise.
- Anthropic is reportedly seeking $25 billion or more at an approximately $350 billion valuation, with GIC and Coatue expected to invest $1.5 billion each.
- Reuters said it could not immediately verify the FT’s report, and the firms involved did not comment, with earlier coverage having suggested a round closer to $10 billion.
- Microsoft and Nvidia previously committed up to $15 billion combined to Anthropic, reflecting deep strategic ties around compute and enterprise adoption.
- Sequoia’s participation would follow its stakes in OpenAI and xAI, a notable departure from the firm’s past practice of avoiding direct portfolio conflicts, with some reports also describing IPO preparation as early as 2026.
