On August 19, according to The Information, Anthropic plans to issue stocks with additional voting rights to its co-founders, including CEO Dario Amodei, to enhance the founding team's ability to resist pressure from external shareholders. This will mark the first time that Anthropic's leadership obtains super-voting rights. Given the relatively low shareholding ratio of the co-founders in the company, this move aims to maintain their control over the company. Meanwhile, Anthropic plans to retain its existing non-shareholder trustee system and elect a majority of board members through a special class of stocks, further weakening the influence of external shareholders on corporate governance.
