US Government Sold Seized FTX Anthropic Shares for $627M. They’re Now Worth $3.94 Billion

In a striking example of how quickly valuations can change in the AI boom, the US government sold a large block of Anthropic shares it seized from the failed FTX exchange for more than $600 million just a year ago. While that seems like a big sum, the same shares are now worth close to $4 billion, according to the latest valuations. Crypto commentator The Martini Guy tweeted regarding the development: Anthropic’s Incoming Initial Public Offering (IPO) Anthropic recently disclosed the move in its S-1 IPO filing, which shows its current ownership structure.
