   Anthropic founders pledge to donate 80% of equity, value possibly nearly $80 billion

   Seven Anthropic co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their personal equity to charity, and reiterated that pledge in an IPO filing made public on Monday; Fortune estimates the value at about $79.4 billion. The seven together hold about 1.69 billion shares, worth about $99.3 billion at the latest private financing price, or about $11 billion donated per person; the filing states that the pledge is voluntary and revocable, and the timing and recipients of the donations remain undetermined. The S-1 shows Anthropic revenue of $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, far above $1.2 billion in the same period last year; the company plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, raise up to $100 billion in the IPO, and is expected to list around Thanksgiving, with a valuation possibly reaching $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion.

    Anthropic commits to putting 5% of its shares into a new public benefit fund, which may be used to address AI's impact on employment

    Anthropic said it plans to put 5% of its shares into a newly established public benefit fund, which may be used to support nonprofit donations, direct cash payments, or research on and responses to AI's impact on and displacement of employment; the commitment still requires shareholder approval. The board may also, at its discretion, add 2 percentage points for every 50% increase in the company's valuation after it exceeds an undisclosed baseline. The fund will be established as a wholly owned limited liability company rather than a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization, so as to allow adjustment among different forms of donation, and the equity it holds will not be used for lobbying or political donations in the United States or internationally. Anthropic said it had previously invested $200 million to study AI's impact, but given the pace of AI progress, a bolder approach may be needed. The company told investors that third-quarter revenue was $16.8 billion, and an IPO is reportedly scheduled for November.

    AI company Anthropic will put 5% of its shares into a public-interest fund

    Anthropic 宣布将把 5% 的股份投入一个面向公共利益的基金，按 5 月最新估值约合 480 亿美元，仍需股东批准；公司估值每在未披露的基准上上涨 50%，将再追加 2% 股份。该基金可用于向传统非营利组织大额捐赠，或直接向特定人群分配。Anthropic 称已投入 2 亿美元应对 AI 给劳动者带来的冲击，但鉴于 AI 进展速度，可能需要更大胆的做法。公司 5 月以 9650 亿美元估值融资 650 亿美元，据报道正考虑以 1.5 万亿美元估值于 11 月上市；OpenAI 据报道也在早期洽谈向美国政府让渡 5% 股份，马斯克则表示将把自己的 SpaceX 股份直接分给公众，并称明年给每个美国孩子一股 SpaceX 股票。

    Anthropic announced it will put at least 5% of its shares into a public interest fund, and said it may add more when certain revenue targets are reached. Semafor said the move is the latest effort by frontier AI labs to ease public backlash over employment and social impact, and noted that OpenAI has also discussed giving 5% of shares to the US government. Both companies are preparing for record IPOs. Anthropic is also circulating a draft AI safety bill in Congress, but the Semafor reporter noted that the proposal is no longer seen by some as sufficiently strong.

    Anthropic commits to putting 5% of shares into a "public interest" fund

    Anthropic announced it will put 5% of its shares into a new public interest fund, worth about $48 billion based on the company's latest $965 billion valuation, subject to shareholder approval. The fund is a wholly owned limited liability company and will support work such as AI safety and biomedical research, and may explore large donations to traditional nonprofits or direct distributions to specific groups of people. Anthropic also plans to add 2% of shares each time the company's valuation rises 50% above an undisclosed baseline, and said that after the announcement about 20% of shares will be used for public purposes. The move comes as it prepares for an IPO at a valuation of about $2 trillion and faces public backlash over AI's impact on jobs and risk of loss of control; OpenAI also discussed this summer giving about 5% of its shares to the public. The company also proposed a draft AI safety and security bill to U.S. lawmakers, and its head of federal affairs said the proposal is still a draft and is seeking feedback.

    Anthropic announced that it will allocate 5% of the company's shares to a public benefit fund, worth about 48 billion dollars based on the 965 billion dollar valuation in May; the funds can be donated to public benefit organizations or paid directly to specific groups of people.

The day before, co-founder Jack Clark said at the IMF that the singularity has arrived, and Anthropic projects that US GDP will reach 44.4 trillion dollars by 2030, but labor's share will fall from about 60% to 45.2%.

    Anthropic establishes a public benefit fund and commits to contribute part of its equity

    Anthropic announced the creation of the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund and committed to contribute part of the company's equity to the fund. Subject to shareholder approval, the first contribution is 5% of equity, and for every 50% increase in the company's valuation over a set baseline, the board of directors may at its discretion add another 2%. Combined with the co-founders' commitment to donate 80% of their equity and an employee equity matching program, about 20% of Anthropic's equity will be used for public benefit, and it may increase further if the company reaches certain valuation milestones. The fund is a wholly owned LLC rather than a 501(c)(3), and the equity it holds is not used for lobbying or political donations inside or outside the United States. Anthropic says it has already invested $200 million in research and in addressing labor market impacts, and will publish details of the fund's structure and governance in the coming months.
