Sequoia Capital completes a new round of financing of $100 million to invest $2.5 billion in Anthropic

Comparatively, according to Bloomberg, Sequoia Capital has completed the latest round of financing amounting to $10 billion. As of now, the agency has returned a total of $5 billion in earnings to investors outside of SpaceX this year.

Sequoia Capital's new co-leaders Alfred Lin and Pat Grady plan to invest $2.5 billion in AI company Anthropic, which will be the largest investment in Sequoia's 54-year history. Sequoia has always been biased towards OpenAI, xAI, etc., and did not invest in Anthropic for the first time until January 2025, but now it has decided to increase its holdings significantly, showing that it is aggressively betting on the AI field.
