Anthropic's IPO governance gives common shareholders little say, thanks to a trust that elects the board

Anthropic, the AI safety company founded in 2021, is approaching its initial public offering with a governance structure that limits ordinary shareholders' influence. A Long-Term Benefit Trust, chaired by Neil Shah and including Ben Bernanke, holds a special class of stock that lets it elect a majority of the board. The seven founders also jointly control 50.1% of voting power. One seat on the trust is currently vacant, to be filled by existing members.
