Anthropic told investors its annualized revenue run rate reached $65 billion in July, about seven times higher than a year earlier, reflecting rapid growth in demand for the company’s Claude-based enterprise tools. The disclosure, confirmed by CNBC and initially reported by Bloomberg, came during a weekend investor update. Anthropic also cited preliminary second-quarter revenue of $11.5 billion, representing a fourteen-fold increase from the same period last year. The figures arrive as Anthropic prepares for an anticipated blockbuster IPO, following its confidential SEC filing in June and early meetings with prospective investors. OpenAI recently reported a $40 billion annualized revenue run rate, highlighting intensifying competition.
