The company has set aside up to $6 billion for the share sale, but the final amount will be subject to how many eligible employees sell the shares, as per the report.

Anthropic recently completed a new funding round, which valued it at $380 billion post-money, including the cash put by investors.

The report goes on to add that it will be outside investors, and not Anthropic, will be buying the shares sold by eligible employees. Current and former employees, who have worked at Anthropic for at least 12 months, will be eligible to sell shares, as per the story.

Anthropic has joined the list of startups like Stripe Inc. and SpaceX, who have also allowed staff to sell stock to benefit from the growth in the company's valuation. Anthropic's rival, OpenAI, has frequently done share sales, including a $6.6 billion one at a valuation of $500 billion in 2025.
