Anthropic Prepares Supervoting Power for Founders as it Readies for Mega-IPO

Anthropic is preparing for a major IPO and is structuring supervoting share classes to concentrate control with its founders. This dual-class share structure would allow founders, likely including Dario and Daniela Amodei, to retain outsized governance power even as public investors enter the cap table. The move follows a well-established playbook used by Google, Meta, and other tech giants to insulate leadership from shareholder pressure post-listing. The IPO is expected to be one of the largest in the AI sector, reflecting Anthropic's significant valuation driven by rapid revenue growth and major investment from Google and Amazon.
