Anthropic’s H-1B visa filings reveal it pays some employees over $1M in base salary, with two Member of Technical Staff roles drawing $1.12M and $1.38M, according to Business Insider. The catch-all title makes it impossible to tell from the filings whether those workers are top researchers or seasoned executives, and the figures exclude bonuses and equity, which can dwarf base pay given the company’s jump to a $965B valuation. Anthropic certified roughly 80 H-1B roles across the first two quarters of fiscal 2026, ramping up applications even as several tech giants pulled back. Salary ranges across other functions run from accounting at up to $230,000 to technical sales and research operations topping $500,000. The disclosures land as Anthropic ramps toward what could be a $1 trillion IPO as early as this fall.
