Anthropic sets up public benefit fund, plans to contribute 5% of its shares

On October 18, 2026, Anthropic announced the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund and a plan to put company shares into it. The company intends to contribute 5% of its shares once shareholders approve, so the contribution depends on that approval. The announcement also sets an add-on tied to value growth: for every 50% rise in company value above a set baseline, the board may add 2% of shares at its discretion. Those additions are not automatic.
