Anthropic Donates 5% of Shares to Public Benefit Fund
Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, has committed 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund. In response, SpaceX founder Elon Musk pledged to give one SpaceX share to every American child next year. The fund, set up as a wholly owned LLC, will have increased flexibility and scale, enabling Anthropic to pursue its mission in new ways. The co-founders' pledge to donate 80% of their equity and a matching program for employee donations will also be in place.
