Anthropic launches employee stock buyback for the first time, valued at $61.5 billion

According to The Information, the renowned big model platform Anthropic has launched its first employee stock repurchase plan. This repurchase plan is open to current and former employees who have worked in the company for at least two years. They can sell up to 20% of their equity in the company, with a maximum limit of $2 million per person and a price of $56.09 per share. This price is the same as the $3.5 billion funding round led by Lightspeed Venture in March this year, and the company's valuation remains at $61.5 billion. It is reported that Anthropic's stock repurchase plan is expected to be completed by the end of this month. If everything goes smoothly, hundreds of millions of dollars will flow into the hands of current and former employees, further enhancing Anthropic's competitiveness in the talent market.
