Anthropic is seeking 50.1% voting control for its co-founders ahead of a planned initial public offering, according to a report by The Information, which both outlets reference.

The proposal would give the founders voting authority that exceeds a simple majority, while the company prepares for public markets. The report frames the move as a way to retain control as ownership changes after an IPO.

The sources provided do not include additional details on when the IPO could occur, who the co-founders are in this context, or how the voting rights would be structured. They also do not specify whether the arrangement would involve dual-class shares or other governance mechanisms. As a result, the differing angles across outlets are limited to the shared focus on the voting-control figure and the IPO timing context reported by The Information.
