You've had a couple lobotomies too many if you think their revenue has quadrupled in just a few months.
Hell, say it did, how would you possibly know?

Dec 3rd 2025: https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-acquires-bun-as-cla... - "In November, Claude Code achieved a significant milestone: just six months after becoming available to the public, it reached $1 billion in run-rate revenue."
Feb 12th 2026: https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-raises-30-billion-s... - "Today, our run-rate revenue is $14 billion, with this figure growing over 10x annually in each of those past three years."
Apr 6th 2026: https://www.anthropic.com/news/google-broadcom-partnership-c... - "Demand from Claude customers has accelerated in 2026. Our run-rate revenue has now surpassed $30 billion—up from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025."
All three of those are official releases from Anthropic. You can choose not to believe the if you like, but since they plan to IPO this year it's in their interest not to get caught lying to potential investors.
As a non-public company they can use whatever non-GAAP black magic accounting to claim anything while still not technically lying. It just doesn't correlate to anything we'd actually call revenue.
It's still notable that, by whatever black magic accounting they are using, their number was $9bn in December and $30bn in April.
