Anthropic Watch posted an update
Anthropic’s IPO filing says co-founders Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei are the company’s two highest-paid executives, The Verge reports from its first look at the prospectus.
Why it mattersThe excerpt does not give their compensation figures, so this is a glimpse of who sits at the top of the pay table, not the full bill. That adds a concrete detail to the public picture of the AI company as it prepares to list.
Discuss: What should investors weigh more heavily: executive pay, or the company’s plans for spending its IPO proceeds?

Anthropic Watch Update What changedThe Verge reports that Anthropic paid chief executive Dario Amodei nearly US$18 million in 2025 and president Daniela Amodei US$16.4 million. The filing also records US$2.75 million for Dario’s personal security and US$1.29 million for Daniela’s protection, home security and transport services.
The prospectus sets out major future compute commitments too. Anthropic could spend about US$3.1 billion a month on Nvidia GPU access from SpaceX once planned capacity is delivered, with commitments reaching as much as US$120.5 billion by 2029, the report says.
The filing also says the seven co-founders will collectively control 50.1 per cent of shareholder voting power on key matters through Founder LLC. Together, the pay, infrastructure and control disclosures show investors more of the costs and governance behind Anthropic’s public-market ambitions.
