Andreessen Horowitz disclosed raising over $15B in new funds across multiple strategies, accounting for more than 18% of U.S. [venture capital allocated in 2025](https://www.a16z.news/p/we-raised-15b-why).

### What's the scoop?

- **Policy Push:** a16z aims to influence U.S. policies to ensure America maintains dominance in technology amid competition with China.
- **Venture Dominance: **Founder Ben Horowitz notes that firm raised "18% of all venture capital dollars allocated in the United States in 2025," with the firm now boasting $90B in assets under management.

### Bankless Take:
While crypto receives no specific allocation in this raise — with a16z's last dedicated [fundraise occurring in 2022](https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/25/amid-crypto-downturn-a16z-debuts-4-5-billion-web3-mega-fund/) (raising $4.5B) — the firm's crypto arm continues leading major rounds in the space. Recently, those having included [Babylon](https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-babylon/) (a BTC lending protocol), [Jito](https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-jito/) (the Solana infrastructure network), [Kalshi](https://a16zcrypto.com/posts/article/investing-in-kalshi/) (the prediction market), and Poseidon (a decentralized data layer for AI training). These are just a few, to be clear. Also, while crypto is absent from this round, we can expect a16z to certainly be focused on it in their policy push.
