Anduril Seeks $100 Billion Valuation in 2-Stage Raise as Defense Tech Funding Tops $12 Billion

3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Jul 24

Summary

  • $100 billion is the valuation Anduril is said to be targeting in a new capital raise, potentially lifting its worth by about $40 billion from its May financing.
  • Reuters said the fundraise may be split into two tranches, with the second bringing in investors at a higher valuation; both stages could close this year.
  • The push comes after Anduril raised $5 billion in May at a $61 billion valuation and said its 2025 revenue more than doubled to $2.2 billion.
  • Defense tech venture funding more than doubled to over $12 billion in the first half, already surpassing the nearly $10 billion raised in all of 2025 as demand for drones, autonomous systems and AI warfare tools accelerates.
  • Anduril said no decisions have been made on future financing, while the broader boom has also lifted peers including Shield AI, Mach Industries and Helsing.
