WSJ:Anthropic 七位创始人 IPO 各套现约 2.5 亿美元,公司估值近 1.3 万亿美元
7 个创始人在 IPO 里每人卖 340 万股、拿走 2.5 亿美元现金,还靠一股 F 类股锁死 50.1% 投票权。买 Anthropic 股票的散户基本没有话语权,这个治理结构值不值得投,文件里自己都写了风险提示。想参与或观望 IPO 的人都该看看细节。
据 WSJ 报道的公司文件,Anthropic 七位创始人将在下周的 IPO 中各自出售约 250 万美元级别的股票——每人约 340 万股,发行价区间为 70 至 78 美元,每人套现约 2.5 亿美元,并保留价值约 180 亿美元的股份。此次上市估值接近 1.3 万亿美元,计划募资 800 亿美元以上,部分通过向 Google 等投资者的私募配售完成。
上市后每位创始人保留约 3.2% 的 A 类股,合计持有约 22% 的流通股,对应约 11.2% 的投票权。但一家创始人控制的 LLC 持有一股 F 类超级投票权股,保证他们在多数股东投票中握有 50.1% 的控制权。
文件明确警告,公开市场买家只获得经济收益敞口,几乎没有控制权发言权,公司决策可能与股东财务利益产生分歧。这种一股多权的双层股权结构在科技 IPO 中并不罕见,但估值近 1.3 万亿美元的体量让这一治理安排的争议更为突出。
WSJ: Anthropic’s 7 founders will each sell about $250M of stock in its IPO and keep roughly $18B apiece.
Each plans to sell nearly 3.4M shares at a projected range of $70 to $78, according to Tuesday’s company filing.
The listing, expected next week, would value Anthropic near $1.3T and raise $80B or more, partly via a private placement to investors including Google.
Once trading starts, each founder keeps about 3.2% of Class A shares, so together they hold roughly 22% of outstanding stock.
That stake carries only about 11.2% of voting power, yet a founder-controlled LLC holding a single Class F share guarantees them 50.1% on most shareholder votes
Public buyers of Anthropic's shares therefore get economic exposure with almost no say over control, which the filing warns could put decisions at odds with shareholders’ financial interests.
