Anduril reportedly in talks to raise funding at $100B valuation, more than 3x last year’s mark

Defense technology firm Anduril is reportedly in talks to raise funding at a $100 billion valuation, reflecting a massive surge in demand for autonomous and AI-driven military hardware. This trend highlights a shift toward cheaper, expendable 'attritable' systems in modern warfare.
Why it matters
The rapid valuation growth of defense startups signals a major shift in military procurement and the increasing role of private tech companies in global defense strategies.
Defense tech company Anduril is said to be raising a new round of capital that may push its valuation up by a whopping $40 billion to about $100 billion, Reuters reported, citing anonymous sources.
The company, which raised $5 billion in May at a $61 billion valuation — itself roughly double the $30.5 billion valuation it landed in its June 2025 Series G round — may be structuring the fundraise as a two-stage process, with the second stage bringing in investors at a higher valuation. Both tranches could be closed within the year, Reuters reported.
