Anthropic’s revenue run rate crosses $30 billion, secures Broadcom deal

Anthropic has reported a sharp surge in its revenue run rate, which has crossed the $30 billion threshold, the company announced in a blog post today.

"Demand from Claude customers has accelerated in 2026. Our run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion—up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025," Anthropic said in a blog post.

The revenue run rate is a popular metric used by tech startups, which projects a company's future annual revenue based on current performance, such as monthly or quarterly revenues.


The company also pointed to rapid growth in high-value customers. From about 500 clients spending over $1 million annually during its series G round in February, the figure has crossed 1,000 in under two months.

Anthropic shared these updates alongside news of an agreement with Google and Broadcom. The deal is aimed at securing large-scale access to Google’s next-generation TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) chips, ensuring the infrastructure needed to support growing demand.

"....we are building the capacity necessary to serve the exponential growth we have seen in our customer base while also enabling Claude to define the frontier of AI development," Anthropic chief financial officer Krishna Rao said in a blog post regarding the deal. "We are making our most significant compute commitment to date to keep pace with our unprecedented growth."

Investor interest in the company has also intensified. Data from SetterVC shows Anthropic has become the most sought-after startup in the secondary market for Q1 2026, overtaking SpaceX, with its shares seeing extremely high demand amid limited availability.

This is in contrast to what OpenAI is facing. According to a report by Bloomberg, around $600 million worth of its shares put up for sale by institutional investors recently struggled to find buyers.

OpenAI’s annualised revenue run rate, meanwhile, crossed $25 billion by the end of February, according to earlier reports.

Anthropic’s revenue surge comes amid what has been described as a public standoff between the company and the US Department of War. While initially seen as a potential reputational risk, it appears to have had the opposite effect, helping distinguish the company from OpenAI in the eyes of many institutional buyers.
