Anthropic’s seven co-founders each hold about 240 million shares worth between $13.7 billion and $14.4 billion at the $58.90 Series H price. Together, they own roughly 10% of the company and could see their fortunes rise to between $27 billion and $29 billion if Anthropic reaches the approximately $2 trillion valuation cited by Wall Street. The seven co-founders have pledged to donate 80% of their personal equity to philanthropic causes, although the pledges are voluntary and revocable. Donating the shares will not eliminate their voting control, because their company retains 50.1% of the votes through the Founder LLC as long as each founder keeps at least 2% of their Class A shares. Anthropic has not yet disclosed the offering price, the number of shares to be sold or the final post-offering share count.
