Eric Schmidt's Anthropic Stake Reportedly Half That of CEO Dario Amodei
According to a Bloomberg report, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt owns approximately 1% of AI startup Anthropic after investing tens of millions in its Series A round in 2021. At the time, the company was valued at $461 million. This stake is notably smaller than that held by co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei, who controls about 2%. With a potential IPO expected before year-end and top estimates valuing Anthropic as high as $2 trillion, Schmidt’s ownership could add up to $20 billion in value. Schmidt has been an active tech investor since leaving Google in 2011. He manages investments through entities like Tomorrow Ventures and his family office Hillspire. His portfolio includes other AI startups such as Mistral and General Intuition. Neither Schmidt nor Anthropic responded to requests for comment at the time of reporting.
