Anthropic plans to grant CEO Amodei super voting rights to pave the way for an IPO

According to Bloomberg, AI company Anthropic PBC plans to grant shares with extra voting rights to CEO Dario Amodei and other co-founders before preparing for an IPO. This move aims to ensure that the founding team retains dominant control over the company's strategic direction after it goes public. This dual-class share structure is already quite common in the tech industry, with Meta founder Zuckerberg and Snap founder Spiegel holding similar super-voting shares.
