Anthropic, the AI startup backed by Alphabet and Amazon, is targeting rapid revenue growth fueled by widespread adoption of its enterprise-focused products. According to sources familiar with the matter, the company expects to reach $9 billion in annual revenue by the end of 2025, with projections for 2026 ranging up to $26 billion. The baseline estimate anticipates revenue doubling to around $20 billion, reflecting strong demand for Anthropic’s Claude models and corporate AI tools.
Currently, approximately 80% of Anthropic’s income comes from corporate clients, with over 300,000 organizations utilizing its solutions. A major driver of growth is Claude Code, the company’s AI coding tool, which generated nearly $1 billion in revenue within a year.
Facing competition from OpenAI, whose annual revenue surpassed $13 billion in August, Anthropic is diversifying its product lineup. The startup recently launched Haiku 4.5, a more affordable Claude model priced at roughly one-third of Claude Sonnet 4, targeting businesses seeking cost-effective AI solutions.
International expansion is also a key focus. Anthropic plans to open a new office in Bangalore, India, in 2026, while tripling its international workforce and increasing its applied AI team fivefold. The company has also offered the U.S. government symbolic access to Claude for just $1, reinforcing its presence in the public sector.
After a $13 billion funding round, Anthropic’s valuation reached $183 billion, more than double its March estimate. The company continues to solidify its position as a global AI leader while aggressively scaling its enterprise offerings.
