US EditionAnthropic Is Now Worth $1 Trillion on Private Markets, Surpassing OpenAI
Buyers are bidding up Anthropic shares as scarce supply and FOMO drive offers as high as $1.15 trillion, traders said.
- Anthropic reached a $1 trillion valuation on Forge Global, according to CEO Kelly Rodriques, a massive surge from its $380 billion funding round three months ago.
- A shortage of available shares for the Claude developer has triggered desperate bidding wars, with some buyers even offering property in exchange for stakes in the company.
- Market demand is driven by "FOMO" rather than fundamentals, according to Wisdom Ventures partner Bradley Horowitz, as early backer Jesse Leimgruber reported receiving offers at a $1.05 trillion valuation.
- OpenAI faces a tepid secondary market, with shares trading at $880 billion on Forge Global, as Rainmaker Securities CEO Glen Anderson noted little demand for the ChatGPT creator this year.
- Anthropic's annualized run rate surged from $9 billion in late 2025 to $39 billion by March 2026, positioning the company in the "pole position" for a generational AI opportunity.
