Anthropic considers mandatory stock sale plans for employees
Anthropic, a company that makes AI like Claude, is thinking about making all its employees sell their stock using special plans after the company goes public.
These plans, called 10b5-1, set specific times and amounts for selling stock to avoid any problems with insider trading.
The company is still talking about this and hasn't made a final decision yet.
They are also thinking about how much stock existing shareholders can sell on the first day and how long employees have to wait before they can sell their stock after the IPO.

Discussions are ongoing, and no final decision has been made.
