Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic paid chief executive Dario Amodei about $18 million in total compensation for 2025, most of it in stock and options, Crypto Briefing reports, citing the company’s confidential IPO prospectus.
Why it mattersThe report says Amodei’s base salary rose to about $1.4 million in July 2026, from roughly $655,000. His sister and fellow co-founder, Daniela Amodei, reportedly received $16.4 million in total compensation for 2025. These are figures attributed to the outlet’s account of the prospectus. They offer a glimpse of executive pay as Anthropic prepares for a public listing, but the headline-sized total is largely equity, not cash.
Discuss: When a company goes public, should investors judge executive pay mainly by its cash salary or by the value of shares and options?
