According to the **Financial Times**, the well-known venture firm **Sequoia Capital** is set to join **Anthropic**'s new funding round.

## The numbers

- Anthropic is looking to raise **$25 billion or more**
- At a valuation of **$350 billion**, more than double the $170 billion of four months earlier
- Singapore's **GIC** and **Coatue** are leading, with $1.5 billion each
- **Microsoft** and **Nvidia** have together committed up to $15 billion

## Why it stands out

Sequoia is already an investor in **OpenAI** and **xAI**. In venture capital, backing direct rivals at the same time has traditionally been unusual. Sam Altman had previously said that investors who back competitors would lose access to OpenAI's confidential information.

Reports also say Anthropic is preparing for a possible stock market listing (IPO), potentially as early as this year.
