Anthropic is described as a multi-billion dollar, near trillion dollar company.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Anthropic is on track to generate $11 billion of revenue in the second quarter of 2026 and anticipates a small operating profit.

The CEO of Anthropic stated that if the company's revenue is not $1 trillion or even $800 billion, it could go bankrupt due to compute costs.

OpenAI had talked about almost $1.4 trillion in investments.

Anthropic has officially taken over OpenAI on almost every front, becoming the most powerful AI company in the world.

Anthropic started charging for API access in early 2023, reached a $1 billion run rate by the end of 2024, launched Claude Code in February 2025, reached $4 billion by mid-2025, $9 billion by end of 2025, and $30 billion by April 2026.
