Founders take supervoting shares, leaving the throttle with them

Claim

Anthropic's pre-IPO credit line passed $10 billion as banks bid for seats and its founders took supervoting shares, leaving the throttle with them rather than the float, as the lab doubled to $11.6 billion quarterly at a profit while OpenAI booked $6.7 billion and a $12.3 billion loss.

Reported metric: $11.6B profit vs $12.3B loss

Reporting date: 2026-08-19 (not necessarily the event date)
