Anthropic trying to lock in founder control before going public.
7 co-founders want 50.1% voting power even after IPO. Classic dual-class share structure move—think $META, $GOOGL playbook.
Why it matters:
→ Founders keep decision power regardless of public ownership
→ Less dilution risk for early backers
→ Could impact valuation if public investors push back
IPO timing still TBD but this is prep work. Watch how AI valuations hold up in current macro—if $NVDA bleeds, Anthropic's pricing gets harder.
