Anthropic Commits 5% of Equity to New Public Benefit Fund, Grows 2% per 50% Valuation Jump

Anthropic announced it is committing 5% of its shares, subject to stockholder approval, to a new wholly-owned LLC called the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, with another 2% added at board discretion for every 50% rise in company value above a set baseline. Combined with co-founder pledges of 80% of their equity and a staff donation-match program, roughly 20% of Anthropic shares are now earmarked for public good. The fund will seed nonprofit grants and direct cash distributions aimed at AI's labor-market impact, extending Anthropic's prior $200M economic futures commitment; funds cannot be used for lobbying or political giving.
