- Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust is an unusual, opaque five-member body whose trustees own no equity but hold enormous sway over the AI company.
- Anthropic has shared few details on the trust's internal dynamics, even as the five-person body remains empowered to shape the company's board.
Why it matters: Governance power at one of the world's most valuable AI companies sits with five trustees who hold no equity and face no shareholder accountability — an arrangement made harder to evaluate because Anthropic has disclosed so little about how the trust operates.
