Meta plans non-voting stock to fund AI investments while preserving current shareholder control

Meta confirmed plans to create a publicly traded class of non-voting stock that could be used for capital raising, employee compensation, acquisitions, and other corporate purposes while preserving existing Class A and B voting power. The move comes as Meta reported $64 billion in quarterly revenue, up 26% year over year, while costs and expenses rose 68%, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said more than 10 million people in the U.S. and Canada have set up Muse personal agents in about six weeks.

For builders and partners relying on Meta’s AI ecosystem, the reported stock plan signals Meta wants more financing flexibility for scaling AI without changing its founder-led voting structure. The trade-off is that new funding tools may support faster product and infrastructure expansion, but investors would get less governance influence; the article does not say when the shares will trade or how much capital Meta expects to raise.
