Anthropic has officially dethroned OpenAI as the most valuable AI lab on the planet, closing its Series H round at $65 billion and soaring into the stratosphere with a valuation of $965 billion compared to the $852 billion of Sam Altman in the spring. This insane leap from February's $380 billion is backed not just by the faith of venture capitalists from Sequoia and Altimeter, but by tangible market performance: Anthropic's annual run-rate revenue hit $47 billion in May thanks to a strong focus on the B2B segment and its corporate super-agent Claude Opus 4.8
While Silicon Valley debates the inflation of the AI bubble, Anthropic is scooping up liquidity ahead of its fall IPO, embedding memory from Samsung and Micron into its capital and forcing OpenAI to frantically rewrite its roadmap.
For the crypto market and AI tokens, this trillion-dollar triumph serves as a powerful fundamental shield that ensures the AI hype won't deflate like the dot-coms, but will continue to generate billion-dollar trading volumes and partnerships in the Web3 sector
