Anthropic reportedly plans to hand CEO Dario Amodei and his co-founders supervoting shares. The extra votes would shield the leadership team from public market pressure once the Anthropic IPO lands.

The Information reported the plan, citing two people familiar with the matter. It would be the first time Anthropic's leaders hold stock with extra voting power.

Supervoting Shares Arrive Before the Anthropic IPO

Anthropic filed a confidential S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June. The S-1 is the paperwork that starts a US stock market listing.

The company has the numbers to back one. Its latest funding round valued the firm at $965 billion. Meanwhile, its revenue run rate hit $65 billion in late July, about $25 billion ahead of OpenAI.

The report from The Information points to a potential September IPO, although Anthropic has not confirmed a date.
