On November 11, 2026, IT Home reported, citing TechCrunch, that Anthropic updated its prospectus on November 10 local time. The filing says all seven co-founders plan to sell 3,378,400 shares each in the company’s initial public offering.
At the midpoint of the offering range, $74 a share, each co-founder would receive about $250 million, or about $1.75 billion in total. The stated range is $70 to $78 a share, which would put each sale at about $236 million to $264 million depending on the final price. Together the seven would sell 23,648,600 shares, the entire amount being sold by existing shareholders.
The sellers are CEO Dario Amodei, president Daniela Amodei, Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish, and Christopher Olah. The sale is about 1.4% of each person’s prior holdings. Afterward, each would still hold about 237 million to 240 million Class A shares, worth close to $18 billion at $74 a share.
Anthropic plans to offer 825 million Class A shares, with the company issuing about 801 million and the remainder sold by the seven founders. At the top price of $78, the fully diluted valuation could reach $1.404 trillion. Anthropic has applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT.
Despite the partial sales, the co-founders would retain control through a jointly formed Founder LLC. Before the IPO is completed, Anthropic would issue that entity one Class F share with no economic rights, giving it 50.1% of the vote on ordinary shareholder matters. The Anthropic Long-Term Benefit Trust would continue to elect a majority of the board.
