06:44 AM EDT, 03/13/2025 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates to add response from Anthropic in the fifth paragraph.)

Alphabet's (GOOG) Google ( GOOG ) reportedly owns a 14% stake in Amazon ( AMZN )-backed (AMZN) artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, The New York Times reported late Tuesday, citing court documents.

According to filings submitted in Google's ( GOOG ) antitrust case over online search, the tech giant's stake in Anthropic is capped at 15% and does not include voting rights, board seats, or board observer rights.

The documents also reveal that Google ( GOOG ) plans to invest an additional $750 million in Anthropic through convertible debt in September and in total has already invested over $3 billion in Anthropic.

Tom Brown, an Anthropic co-founder, argued in favor of Google ( GOOG ) retaining its stake, warning that Anthropic would "suffer grievous harm" if Google ( GOOG ) were forced to cut ties, according to the court documents.

Google ( GOOG ) did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires, while Anthropic declined to comment.
