Anthropic is preparing for a potential initial public offering while seeking shareholder approval for a special share class that would give CEO Dario Amodei and six co-founders collective control over most corporate matters. The proposed structure would provide the seven co-founders with 50.1% of voting power if at least three retain a minimum number of shares, and would emulate Palantir's founder-control model. The company confidentially filed a draft Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 1, 2026, and has reportedly selected Nasdaq for a potential listing valued at up to $2 trillion. Anthropic also faces scrutiny over disclosures concerning AI risks, political advocacy and governance. Its annualized revenue run rate exceeded $65 billion in July and was projected to surpass $100 billion by year-end.
