What the ratio leaves out
The reported comparison gives no absolute ownership percentages, valuation or explanation of how the stakes were calculated. I think that makes “half” a useful signal of relative scale, but a poor guide to the actual size of Schmidt’s position. Without those details, it is also impossible to tell whether the comparison says anything about his influence at Anthropic.
