Anthropic is creating the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a wholly owned entity dedicated to public benefit, seeded with 5% of company shares. For every 50% increase in company value above a set baseline, up to an additional 2% can be contributed, subject to board discretion. The company says roughly 20% of its shares are now committed to public good. Co-founders have pledged 80% of their equity, and about half of employees donate equity through a matching program run since founding. Further details were shared in a follow-up post.
