Krishna Rao, the Indian-origin chief financial officer of Anthropic, beneficially owned 94.97 lakh shares as of September 30, 2026.
According to the company’s registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on November 10. At the midpoint of the proposed IPO price range of USD 70-78 per share, which is USD 74, the stake would be worth about USD 703 million, or about INR 6,600 crore.
That is nearly 57 times the USD 1.30 reference price of his early equity. The figure is an estimate based on the proposed price and is not realised wealth. Rao is not selling any of his shares in the IPO.
Rao joined Anthropic as CFO in 2024 from Airbnb, where he held roles including global head of corporate and business development and worked on its IPO. He was earlier CFO at Fanatics Commerce.
He has been leading investor meetings hosted by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs as Anthropic seeks to raise up to USD 90.4 billion through the IPO and private placements, at a valuation of up to about USD 1.4 trillion.
