Singapore's national investment fund leads $30B Anthropic funding round

Singapore's GIC, a government-run investment fund, led Anthropic's $30 billion funding round, with Coatue also joining, GIC announced February 13, 2026. A national fund — not a traditional startup investor — taking the lead suggests AI's funding needs now exceed what venture capital firms can handle alone. GIC earned 3.8% above inflation over the past 20 years through March 2025.
