Anthropic Allocates 5% Shares to Public Benefit Fund Ahead of IPO
Anthropic, an AI company preparing for a major IPO, announced it will allocate 5% of its shares to a new Anthropic Public Benefit Fund aimed at supporting public-interest initiatives, including addressing AI's impact on jobs. The fund's stake may increase with the company's valuation, subject to approval. The company’s co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their wealth, and about half of employees participate in an equity donation program. Elon Musk suggested direct share distribution to people as an alternative approach.
