Zoom Communications has made a billion dollars in profit from its investment in AI startup Anthropic, which creates the Claude model. This is reported by Bloomberg.
According to the agency, Zoom invested in Anthropic in early 2023. The company decided to implement Claude models in its products.
The total investment was about 97 million dollars: 51 million at the beginning and another 46 million later. The value of this share is now estimated at $1.27 billion.
This growth is explained by a sharp increase in Anthropic’s valuation. In February 2026, it reached $380 billion, and next week a new round of financing is expected to close at a valuation of more than $900 billion.
If the round is completed, Zoom’s share could rise even more in price – potentially up to $3 billion, which is almost 30 times more than the initial investment.
