Anthropic Plans IPO as a Public Benefit Corporation
Anthropic, the AI lab behind Claude, is preparing one of the largest IPOs as a public benefit corporation (PBC). PBCs, established in Delaware in 2013, must balance profit-making with broader social interests. Unlike traditional companies, PBCs include a public mission in their charter. Anthropic's mission focuses on responsibly developing and maintaining advanced AI, as stated in its May 7, 2026, amended certificate of incorporation.
