Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
The evidence is the person's or their organisation's own records.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
True if Anthropic publicly announced a new funding round (such as its Series B) on or about 2022-04-29. Mostly true if the round was announced within a few days of that date, or if a minor detail differs. Mostly false if the announcement was of a round that had been disclosed well before, rather than a new round. False if Anthropic announced no fundraising round around that date.

E1 Anthropic raises Series B to build robust AI Anthropic · 29 April 2022 Own record
“Anthropic, an AI safety and research company, has raised $580 million in a Series B.”
-
E2 Anthropic raises Series B to build robust AI Anthropic · 29 April 2022 Own record
“The Series B follows the company raising $124 million in a Series A round in 2021.”
Reasoning
Anthropic's official news post dated 2022-04-29 states that the company raised $580 million in a Series B (E1). The same post says the Series B came after a $124 million Series A in 2021, so it was a new round and not one disclosed earlier (E2). The dated announcement is the company's own official record of the event the claim describes, so it settles the claim.
