Anthropic commits 5% of shares to public benefit fund

Anthropic announced it will transfer 5% of its shares to a new Public Benefit Fund, with the stake increasing by an additional 2% for every 50% rise in company valuation above a baseline threshold, subject to board approval. The fund will support large-scale public benefit projects including employment support and direct distribution. The announcement prompted Elon Musk to pledge SpaceX shares to every child in America, sparking broader discussion about tech wealth redistribution. Outlets like Le Monde and Corriere della Sera noted the philanthropic framing while questioning whether such commitments represent genuine wealth-sharing or strategic reputation management.
