Anthropic Has Established a Long-Term Benefit Trust and Will Create Class T Special Stock to Be Held by Class T Directors
Bollcoin, October 26 – On corporate governance, Anthropic has established a Long-Term Benefit Trust and will create Class T special stock to be held by Class T directors; the company repurchased approximately 4.5 million Series B preferred shares in October 2025. Anthropic said it intends to devote a substantial portion of its resources to ensuring the safety of frontier AI and making it broadly beneficial to people, while noting in its risk factors that some worry that, absent appropriate regulation, advanced AI systems could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity. Anthropic's board approved a framework providing that each time the share price rises 50%, it may issue to a charitable fund additional Class N shares equal to up to 2% of total share capital. The co-founders have each pledged 80% of their personal equity in Anthropic to charity.
