FTX, a collapsed crypto exchange, may be able to make customers whole thanks to its early investment in Anthropic, an Open AI rival. In April 2022, FTX invested $500 million in Anthropic, and now the AI startup is in talks to raise $2 billion in fresh funding. This comes days after Amazon announced plans to invest up to $4 billion, potentially increasing Anthropic’s valuation to $20-30 billion. If Anthropic hits a $30 billion valuation, FTX’s stake could be worth around $4.5 billion. FTX’s recent court filings show that the exchange needs $4.5 billion to make customers whole. Total customer claims sit at $16 billion, while FTX holds $11.5 billion in assets including its venture portfolio and crypto reserves. If Anthropic helps close the gap, it could bring some relief to FTX users awaiting repayment.
