Anthropic founders seek voting control with special shares ahead of IPO.

Anthropic's founders plan to secure voting control after the company's IPO by issuing special shares that give them 50.1% of the voting power, despite owning only about 2% each. This move, similar to those by Meta and Snap founders, ensures they maintain control without extra economic benefits. The company, valued recently at $1.5 trillion on the secondary market, will also have a Long-Term Benefit Trust selecting most of the board, and employees will receive stock to help break ties on some issues. This structure aims to balance founder control with broader governance as Anthropic goes public.
