Anthropic’s seven co-founders plan to sell 3.3784 million shares each in the company’s proposed initial public offering, according to an IT Home report published on November 11, 2026. Citing TechCrunch, the report says Anthropic disclosed the planned sales in an updated prospectus on November 10 local time.
The proposed price range is $70 to $78 per share. At its $74 midpoint, each founder’s sale would be worth about $250 million, or roughly $1.75 billion combined. The proceeds would depend on the final offering price.
The founders named in the report are CEO Dario Amodei, President Daniela Amodei, Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish and Christopher Olah. Each would sell about 1.4% of their existing holdings and retain approximately 237 million to 240 million Class A shares.
According to the report, Anthropic plans to offer 825 million Class A shares, including about 801 million newly issued shares. At the top of the proposed price range, its fully diluted valuation could reach $1.404 trillion. The company has applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT.”
The report says the founders would retain control through a jointly formed Founder LLC. Before the IPO, Anthropic plans to issue that entity one Class F share with no economic rights but 50.1% of the voting power on general shareholder matters. The Anthropic Long-Term Benefit Trust would continue to elect a majority of the board.
