    TLDR

    The Information reported that Anthropic is preparing to issue a special class of stock with extra voting power to CEO Dario Amodei and other co-founders. The move would help insulate them from outside shareholder pressure. The outlet cited two people familiar with the matter. It noted that Amodei owns roughly two percent of the company. Several posts on X highlighted the scoop and discussed the founders' modest equity stakes ahead of what could become the biggest IPO in history.

    @amirnew: Dario Amodei owns 2% of Anthropic shares but is about to get supervoting shares alongside his co-founders...
    @JessicalessinDario owns roughly two percent of Anthropic. I repeat: Dario owns roughly two percent of Anthropic. That and more exclusive IPO details from @coryweinberg @theinformation https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropic-prepares-supervoting-power-founders-readies-mega-ipo?rc=hwneun&shared=9c62561fcbb4b8d2
    @jasonlkI don’t have all the details But I would have given the guy a top-up grant
    @APomplianoI don’t know what is crazier…Dario only owning 2% of Anthropic or 2% of Anthropic being worth about $20 billion.
    @validapauScoop w/ @coryweinberg: Anthropic is preparing to give Dario and other cofounders a class of stock with extra voting power ahead of an IPO that could be the biggest in history. https://www.theinformation.com/articles/anthropic-prepares-supervoting-power-founders-readies-mega-ipo?shared=ac7d6ad79ffbd005
