The artificial intelligence firm is preparing an unconventional restriction window for its upcoming market debut. An S-1 filing reveals a staggered lock-up structure that allows specific early investors and employees to sell their equity in batches on the 1st, 27th, and 48th days after the company goes public, rather than following the traditional 180 day lock-up period.
Anthropic has not disclosed the total number of shares eligible for these early release dates. This accelerated schedule could result in heightened volatility and selling pressure for the stock shortly after the company’s entry into the public market.
