The Rundown: Anthropic just announced a new $13B funding round that values the company at a whopping $183B, nearly tripling its worth from six months ago and coming amid significant growth from Claude Code and enterprise accounts.

The details:

• Anthropic now serves over 300,000 enterprise customers, with accounts worth $100k+ in annual revenue growing sevenfold in 2025.
• The company’s Claude Code assistant now generates $500M in annual revenue, with usage up 10x in three months.
• The investor list notably includes QIA, the first Middle East participant, as hinted at by CEO Dario Amodei in a leaked memo in July.
• Anthropic’s last raise of $3.5B in March valued the company at $61.5B, marking a meteoric 3x rise in the last six months.

Why it matters: While there has been plenty of chatter about an AI investment bubble, the dollars don’t seem to be drying up yet, especially for leaders on the frontier of the industry. While Anthropic previously turned down investments from the Gulf region, the expensive race for global compute from rivals may have changed some perspectives.
