Anthropic's Public Benefit Share Lock-Up & IPO Speculation
Anthropic committed ~5% of shares (worth ~$48bn) to a public benefit fund with a dilution kicker tied to valuation growth, sparking both corporate governance debate and speculative meme-token activity.
What we know
The @FT reports Anthropic's $965bn valuation announcement: 5% of shares locked into a public benefit fund, with an additional 2% committed per 50% valuation increase above an undisclosed baseline. An account on X called it 'corporate governance equivalent of a virtue signal.' Separately, another account on X is aggressively promoting an unvetted Solana meme token tied to Anthropic's anticipated IPO — treat with extreme caution.
