If the column load is just axial compression, there is no force in the bolts. Just provide 4 bolts for erection stability.
 
Thank you for the response. The joint is subjected to both compressive and shear forces. Could you please indicate the procedure for calculating the thickness of the base plate and the diameter of the anchor bolts?
