PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Anthropic locks in 50.1% of voting power through a founder share class, leaving public shareholders almost no say in decisions - an extreme specimen of AI corporate governance. Revenue growth is astonishing, yet a $80.7 billion half-year loss shows that valuation inflation itself is manufacturing massive paper losses. For the industry, leading AI companies are writing control and public-benefit missions into their equity structures, systematically compressing the voice of capital.
