Anthropic to Secure Founders 50.1% Voting Control Ahead of Autumn IPO

Anthropic is preparing to grant CEO Dario Amodei and six co-founders a combined 50.1% voting stake through super-voting shares ahead of its anticipated public debut this autumn, according to multiple reports. The seven-member founding team, who collectively hold less than 5% of the company's equity despite founding the AI safety company, would maintain decisive control over most corporate matters following the listing. Amodei, who retains approximately 2% personal ownership, each co-founder owns roughly equal shares.
