Claude Code Statistics (2026)

Claude Code is Anthropic’s “agentic” coding tool that can read a codebase, edit files, run commands, and help manage git workflows from natural-language prompts.

Public updates from Anthropic (plus a widely cited third-party estimate) provide several concrete signals of Claude Code’s revenue scale, growth, and developer traction.

Top Claude Code stats

• Claude Code run-rate revenue: Over $2.5 billion (annualized), and more than doubled since the beginning of 2026.
• Weekly active users: Doubled since January 1, 2026.
• Business subscriptions: Quadrupled since the start of 2026.
• Enterprise mix: Enterprise use represents over half of Claude Code revenue.
• Share of public GitHub commits (estimate): A cited analysis estimated 4% of public GitHub commits worldwide were authored by Claude Code (about 2% one month earlier, per the same context).
• GitHub repo traction: The official repo shows about 67.3k stars, 5.2k forks, and 426 watchers.

Enterprise expansion (Anthropic context)

While not exclusive to Claude Code, these enterprise figures help explain why agentic coding is a major growth driver for Anthropic:

• Customers spending over $100,000 annually: Grew 7x in the past year (run-rate basis).
• Customers spending over $1 million annually: Grew from about 12 two years ago to over 500 today.
• Fortune 10 penetration: Eight of the Fortune 10 are now Claude customers.

Benchmark backdrop (model capability that enables agentic coding)

Claude Code’s “agentic” workflow depends on models that can reliably plan, use tools, and execute multi-step code changes. One widely cited indicator is SWE-bench Verified performance for Claude 3.5 Sonnet (upgraded).

Label	Bar	Value
Claude 3.5 Sonnet (upgraded)		49%
Previous state-of-the-art (as cited)		45%

Max = 49. Widths: Claude 3.5 Sonnet (upgraded) 100.00%, Previous state-of-the-art (as cited) 91.84%

Methodology notes

• Run-rate revenue is an annualized figure based on recent revenue pace and can change quickly with usage, pricing, and enterprise contracts.
• “Doubled/quadrupled since Jan 1” are growth multiples, not absolute user or seat counts.
• Commit-share estimates refer to public GitHub activity and depend on the measurement method.
• GitHub stars/forks/watchers reflect attention and adoption interest, not retained daily usage.
