the code editor just priced itself at thirty billion. cursor closed a 2.3 billion dollar round at a 29.3 billion valuation, per oct 6 reporting.
the terminal now outvalues most public software companies.
Context
Verified event date: Cursor announced a $2.3 billion round at a $29.3 billion post-money valuation on Nov 13, 2025, a Series D led by Coatue (Reuters and CNBC, both Nov 13, 2025).
Later reporting moved past that number: Dealroom (Jul 13, 2026) reports a round valuing Anysphere, Cursor's maker, at $50 billion, and The Financial Current (Oct 4, 2026) says Cursor announced on Aug 14, 2026 that SpaceX had completed its acquisition.
The $2.3 billion round and the $29.3 billion valuation match Reuters and CNBC. The post says 'per oct 6 reporting'; both are dated Nov 13, 2025, almost a year earlier, and later sources read give $50 billion in Jul 2026 and a completed SpaceX acquisition on Aug 14, 2026. 'The terminal now outvalues most public software companies' is the author's, and 'terminal' is not how the sources describe the product.
'the code editor just priced itself at thirty billion' is the author's opinion.
