The source text directly confirms all major elements of the claim: (1) Delaware purpose trust - confirmed ('The Trust is organized as a "purpose trust" under the common law of Delaware'); (2) established in 2023 - confirmed ('Sep 19, 2023'); (3) ensure responsible AI development for humanity's benefit - confirmed (stated multiple times); (4) holds Class T Common Stock - confirmed ('we amended our corporate charter to create a new class of stock (Class T)'); (5) phased governance power - confirmed ('will phase in according to time- and funding-based milestones; in any event, the Trust will elect a majority of the board within 4 years'); (6) trustees are financially disinterested - confirmed ('The Trust's arrangements are designed to insulate the Trustees from financial interest in Anthropic'). The claim's reference to 'negligible economic value' for the stock is not explicitly stated but is consistent with the source's emphasis on the Trust being a 'different kind of stockholder' focused on governance rather than financial returns. The 'as of 2026-03' date is reasonable given the source is from 2023 and describes ongoing structures.
