What Does the Fund Mean for Anthropic IPO Buyers? Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatbot, announced the fund on Sunday. The $48 billion figure uses the $965 billion valuation Anthropic reached when it raised $65 billion in May . The board may add up to 2% more for every 50% rise in value above a set baseline.
