- FTX held a diluted 7.84% stake in Anthropic, according to Reuters.
- Anthropic's latest reported valuation is around $965 billion.
- The former FTX stake would be worth approximately $75 billion at that valuation, before further dilution.
- FTX's customer shortfall at the time of its collapse was roughly $8 billion to $9 billion.
- The FTX estate sold the Anthropic stake during bankruptcy proceedings in order to repay creditors.
Why it matters: The FTX estate liquidated the Anthropic stake before its valuation surged to ~$965 billion, meaning the $75 billion paper value is a missed opportunity rather than a realized recovery. FTX customers were shorted $8-9 billion; creditors were repaid using the proceeds of that sale, but the explosive post-sale appreciation of FTX's most valuable former holding went unclaimed.
