Anthropic's seven co-founders plan to cash out a combined $1.75 billion in IPO

Odaily: Anthropic's seven co-founders plan to sell a combined approximately $1.75 billion worth of shares in the company's IPO next week. Based on the midpoint of the offering price range, each co-founder intends to sell about $250 million worth of shares. According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, at this valuation level, each co-founder's personal net worth is approximately $18 billion.

Although the amount of shares being sold by Anthropic's co-founders is substantial, it represents only about 1.5% of each co-founder's total holdings in the company. This is also not the first time company insiders have cashed out. According to the prospectus, co-founders Dario Amodei and his sister Daniela both participated in share tender offers in June 2025 and April 2026. Anthropic's other co-founders include Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish, and Christopher Olah. (Bloomberg)
