Investing in the public benefit
Anthropic is committing a portion of its shares to the new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a structure designed to increase the stake as the company grows. Subject to stockholder approval, 5% of shares will be committed now, with an additional 2% added at the board's discretion for every 50% increase in company value above a set baseline. The Fund is set up as a wholly-owned LLC rather than a 501(c)(3), and none of its Anthropic equity will be used for lobbying or political giving in the US or abroad.
