We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

Main thing I took from Claude Founder House Stockholm @claudeai:
the next model will be smarter and will still know nothing about your company.
Notion access gets it the docs. Most of what a startup knows never gets written down
Claude Founder House is coming to SF Tech Week (Oct 6–8) and Stockholm (Oct 14).
Come for talks, workshops, and office hours with our team, plus time to meet others building with Claude. Whether you're a founder, a CEO, or a builder, there's a session for you.
Just announced: GRAI has partnered with @massivemusic , part of @songtradr , on streaming infrastructure and licensed AI training data.
MassiveMusic’s infrastructure is built to scale with us, and it puts GRAI on a faster path to launch
@musicben_eth From our perspective it’s very logical evolution of the market. We are transitioning from old well-respected apps and services to something bigger and much more exciting (and it’s not only about AI)
Hope we will make more with @grai_fm 🙈
@orbtrebla Best line of the day wasn’t mine. @michalrokosz21 from Inovo: 'The genie in the bottle isn’t a beautiful chart, it’s a founder who can read one and act on it'. Hard to argue with. Didn’t try.
Spoke at @inovovc LP Day yesterday, on a consumer AI panel with @orbtrebla from https://t.co/SGlCLSAw1E
We disagreed on a lot. Agreed on one thing: creation is solved. Distribution isn’t.
@orbtrebla Our answer to distribution is boring: friends.
One person trying a new music app is a weekend experiment. Twenty friends trying it together is a habit.
So we don’t launch to individuals only - we launch to the class, the dorm, the group chat.
