Anthropic Founders Pledge 80% of Equity to Charity Ahead of $2 Trillion IPO

Anthropic’s seven co-founders have pledged to donate 80 percent of their personal equity to charity ahead of the AI startup’s potential $2 trillion market debut, according to CEO Dario Amodei. The company, valued at around $1 trillion, plans to raise up to $100 billion in a late November IPO, rivaling SpaceX’s $1.77 trillion debut and surpassing OpenAI, which delayed its listing to 2027. Amodei has long advocated rigorous charitable giving. Anthropic’s recent philanthropy includes $40 million to Public First Action for AI policy education and roughly $350 million to address AI-driven economic disruption, funding research and fellowships to support workers and communities across the U.S.
