THE LAW SAYS H-1B WORKERS MUST GET THE EQUITY TOO
If a company offers stock options to similarly employed U.S. workers, it has to offer the same package to its H-1B workers. That is 20 CFR 655.731.
Employers cannot deny those benefits just because the visa is temporary.
Anthropic is about to mint 4,250 employee millionaires. In FY2026 it had 189 H-1B approvals, including 66 first-time.
That is up from 35 total approvals in FY2024.
