People familiar with the matter say CEO Dario Amodei, who owns roughly 2% of the AI startup, will receive enhanced voting rights along with other co-founders to insulate leadership from outside pressure. Anthropic is implementing the new class of stock as it prepares for a potential initial public offering as soon as late September.
The company also plans to keep its Long-Term Benefit Trust, which holds special shares that allow it to elect a majority of the company's board. This governance model aims to protect the co-founders from shareholder influence, as the founders hold relatively small economic stakes in the business.
