The biggest regret of SBF's success is that another timeline's FTX may not have collapsed According to BlockBeats, on February 9th, as early as 2021, former OpenAI executive Dario Amodei and others founded AI startup Anthropic to compete directly with ChatGPT. In April of the following year, FTX, led by SBF, announced its lead investment in a new round of $580 million financing for Anthropic, with $500 million contributed. At that time, Anthropic was valued at approximately $2.5 billion, and FTX acquired approximately 13.56% equity. In the later stage of the new financing, the equity proportion was diluted to approximately 8%. At this moment, the foreshadowing is planted, and SBF, which is keen on long termism and AI risks, has mobilized customer funds. The bear market of 2022 received its final blow in November, with FTX collapsing and bankruptcy, followed by SBF being arrested and ultimately sentenced to 25 years in prison. In 2024, the FTX bankruptcy management team obtained court approval to sell Anthropic shares in order to repay creditors. Firstly, two-thirds of the shares were sold to buyers such as Abu Dhabi Sovereign Wealth Fund to cash out approximately 884 million US dollars. After the final liquidation, FTX recovered approximately $1.3 to $1.4 billion from its investment in Anthropic. However, the AI frenzy has arrived, and Anthropic has been wildly invested and valued by giants such as Amazon and Google. Currently, Anthropic is in talks for a new round of financing with a pre financing valuation of $350 billion, which could be finalized as early as this week. If the financing is completed, the post investment valuation will be even higher. It is regrettable that FTX was valued at around $32 billion when it went bankrupt, and if it had continued to hold that 8% stake, its current value could have been $28 billion or even more. If FTX doesn't collapse, SBF may become one of the new richest people in the AI era with this Anthropic investment. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as' if '. After the bankruptcy liquidation of FTX, this share became the most valuable part of the bankruptcy assets, helping to repay many victims, but SBF himself missed out on the huge appreciation while in prison.
