Anthropic said on Sunday it would set aside much of its wealth to support initiatives it believes are in the public interest.
The artificial intelligence giant said in a blog post that the goal is to create an independent limited liability company and use Anthropic’s shares to donate to nonprofit organizations or “distribute directly to specific groups of people.”
The new limited liability company is called the “Human Public Welfare Fund” and will acquire more shares as the company grows. The company said the first round of financing, which will take a 5% stake in Anthropic, is still subject to shareholder approval.
“The Human Good Fund will increase flexibility and scale, allowing us to pursue our mission in new ways,” the company said.
A 5% stake in Anthropic is worth about $48 billion, according to the company’s most recent valuation in May.
In 2025, rival cutting-edge artificial intelligence company OpenAI established a similar nonprofit foundation and took a multibillion-dollar stake in the company to fund public welfare programs.
