Anthropic Declares Secondary Market Stock Transactions Invalid, Policy Covers Tokenized Securities

According to Cryptopolitan, Anthropic has announced that all unauthorized secondary market stock transactions are invalid, a move that could trigger significant litigation under Delaware law. The company issued a notice on the Claude Help Center stating that any sale or transfer of shares without explicit board approval is considered invalid and will not be recognized. This policy covers direct sales, beneficial interests, forward contracts, special purpose vehicles, and tokenized securities. Secondary trading platforms such as Forge Global and Hiive are listed as unauthorized channels. Previously, secondary platforms had valued Anthropic at approximately $1 trillion, surpassing the $380 billion valuation from its most recent primary funding round.
