The company's S-1 filing reveals a plan to let certain early investors and employees trade stock well before the standard six-month lock-up period ends. Instead of a single expiration date, the document proposes a phased schedule. A portion of the shares would become eligible for sale on the first day of trading. Another tranche would unlock on day 27, with a final release occurring on day 48. Anthropic has not yet specified how many shares fall into each of these categories. The filing suggests that this staggered approach could lead to increased selling pressure and market volatility in the immediate aftermath of the public offering.
