Anthropic Projects $26 Billion Revenue by 2026 Amid Surging AI Demand
Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI startup, is on track to achieve a $9 billion annual revenue run rate by year-end, with ambitions to more than double that figure to $20 billion—and potentially reach $26 billion—by 2026. The company's growth is fueled by rapid enterprise adoption of its AI products and bullish investor sentiment in the generative AI sector.
Current revenue metrics show a sharp uptick, with Anthropic's annual run rate approaching $7 billion this month, up from $5 billion in August. The firm, now valued at $183 billion after a $13 billion Series F round led by ICONIQ, remains a key competitor to OpenAI. Its recent launch of Haiku, a cost-efficient AI model, underscores its push to capture broader corporate demand.
