Anthropic spent $2.75 million on Dario Amodei's security in 2025

The board approved these enhanced measures in 2025, citing increased media attention and specific security concerns. Anthropic has maintained round-the-clock security since 2024, though it did not disclose the previous year's costs. The filing notes that heightened public interest in AI has led to physical and informational risks, including threats to employee safety and attempts to steal confidential data.

Several incidents prompted these precautions. In April, a man entered the San Francisco office claiming an executive would be killed. Later that month, a job applicant allegedly threatened employees' children online. In June, a customer threatened to visit with a pistol, and in August, a user claimed to have a rifle aimed at Amodei, though he later said he was joking.
