Anthropic commits shares to a new public benefit fund that grows with company value

Anthropic is committing 5% of its shares to the newly established Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, subject to stockholder approval. The Fund's stake rises by an additional 2% at the board's discretion for every 50% increase in company value above a set baseline.

The Fund is structured as a wholly-owned LLC and will not use its equity for lobbying or political giving.

Anthropic says roughly 20% of its shares will be dedicated to the public good once combined with prior co-founder pledges and its employee equity donation match program.
