According to CNBC, Anthropic’s IPO filing shows the artificial intelligence company is creating a new Founder LLC for its seven co-founders, including CEO Dario Amodei, while continuing to operate as a Public Benefit Corporation under Delaware law. The structure gives the founders’ Class F stock 50.1% of total voting power on key corporate matters, including some board elections, while Class A shares for ordinary investors carry one vote per share.

The filing says the arrangement could lead to decisions that conflict with short-, medium-, or long-term financial interests and may reduce the influence of everyday investors. Anthropic said its leadership structure is intended to support its mission of benefiting humanity through responsible AI and to maintain a low-ego, truth-seeking culture.

The Founder LLC also includes Daniela Amodei, Anthropic’s president and board chair, Chief Compute Officer Tom Brown and researcher Chris Olah. The company said its remaining four board directors will be elected by its Long-Term Benefit Trust, whose current trustees include former Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke and national security expert Richard Fontaine.

The filing said Dario Amodei made nearly $18 million in 2025, while Daniela Amodei was paid $16.4 million. The Amodei siblings and their fellow co-founders also pledged to dedicate 80% of their personal Anthropic equity to charitable causes.
