Don't people get it by now?

This administration will do or say something crazy to a private company, then this private company sends an envoy to the White House to negotiate, then the White House asks for 10% of the company or other concessions.

The White House wants 10% of Anthropic.

This is just a negotiation tactic that Trump keeps on using.
