Anthropic Raises 2026 Revenue Outlook by 20% but Delays Path to Profitability 
Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has made an additional $1 billion investment in Anthropic, an AI startup rivaling OpenAI, according to the Financial Times. This brings Google’s total investment in Anthropic to $3 billion, reinforcing its position in the competitive AI market against Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Meta (NASDAQ:META).
Anthropic, established in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, specializes in AI safety and advanced models like its Claude family. Google aims to capitalize on Anthropic’s innovations as part of its broader AI strategy to maintain leadership in artificial intelligence technologies, despite previous challenges in commercializing its advancements.
The startup is also nearing an additional $2 billion funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, potentially valuing Anthropic at $60 billion. This follows significant backing from Amazon, which has invested $8 billion over 18 months and plans to integrate Anthropic’s AI into Alexa devices.
Anthropic’s revenue surged tenfold in 2024, reaching $1 billion annually, although profitability remains elusive due to high development costs. Investors remain optimistic about AI’s potential to generate substantial economic value.
Google’s latest investment underscores its commitment to advancing AI amid growing competition from major tech players and startups like Elon Musk’s xAI.
