Source evidence
1 src · 1 checkNoteThe source directly confirms all major elements of the claim: (1) Delaware purpose trust ✓ ('organized as a "purpose trust" under the common law of Delaware'); (2) established in 2023 ✓ ('Sep 19, 2023'); (3) purpose is responsible AI development for humanity's long-term benefit ✓ ('responsible development and maintenance of advanced AI for the long-term benefit of humanity'); (4) holds Class T Common Stock ✓ ('created a new class of stock (Class T)'); (5) phased governance power over board ✓ ('authority to elect and remove a number of Anthropic's board members that will phase in...the Trust will elect a majority of the board within 4 years'); (6) Trustees are financially disinterested ✓ ('five financially disinterested members' and 'arrangements are designed to insulate the Trustees from financial interest'). The claim's reference to 'negligible economic value' for the Class T stock is not explicitly stated in the source but is consistent with the emphasis on financial disinterestedness and the stock's governance-only purpose. The 'as of 2026-03' date is reasonable given the source is from September 2023 and describes an ongoing structure.
