(Bloomberg) -- Blackstone Inc. is increasing its investment in artificial intelligence firm Anthropic PBC, elevating its stake to roughly $1 billion at the startup’s current valuation, according to people familiar with the matter.
The world’s largest alternative asset manager is investing $200 million at a $350 billion valuation as part of the Anthropic’s ongoing funding round, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Anthropic, maker of the Claude AI models, has already more than doubled its initial $10 billion fundraising target amid excess investor demand.

Representatives for Blackstone and Anthropic declined to comment. The funding round hasn’t officially closed and timing or specific terms may change.
Blackstone’s investment comes less than a year since the asset manager participated in Anthropic’s last round, when the OpenAI rival raised $13 billion at a $183 billion valuation. In the current fundraising effort, Anthropic has lined up at least $1 billion each from Coatue Management, Singapore’s GIC Pte and Iconiq Capital, in addition to as much as $15 billion from strategic investors Nvidia Corp. and Microsoft Corp., Bloomberg News has previously reported.
Abu Dhabi’s MGX is nearing a deal to join the funding round, Bloomberg reported earlier Tuesday.
Blackstone’s fresh commitment is again being primarily earmarked from the firm’s retail-focused Blackstone Private Equity Strategies Fund (BXPE), said the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.
Also a backer of OpenAI, Blackstone’s investment puts it among Anthropic’s biggest non-venture or sovereign investors. OpenAI has concurrently been in talks to raise as much as $100 billion in another record-breaking AI funding round, with both companies also taking steps toward an initial public offering.
