Eric Schmidt’s Anthropic Stake Is Estimated at About 1% After Draft IPO Filing

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is estimated to own about 1% of Anthropic. His investment in 2021 may give him a stake in the AI company if it goes public.

Schmidt’s investment in Anthropic’s Series A funding round is estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars. The company announced the $124 million funding round on May 28, 2021, and listed him as one of its investors. However, it did not say how much money he invested or what share of the company he owns.

Anthropic last announced a company value of $965 billion after a funding round on May 28, 2026. This value includes the money raised in that round. It does not tell us how much Schmidt would receive if Anthropic goes public. The estimate that he owns about 1% of the company has not been confirmed.

Anthropic filed a draft registration statement in private on June 1, 2026. This gives the company the option to seek a public listing after regulators review its filing. The company has not announced an IPO date, the number of shares it plans to offer, or the price of the shares.
