🚀 The US sold Anthropic shares for $627 million — now they’re valued at nearly $4 billion
In October 2025, US authorities sold seized shares in the developer of the Claude AI model for $627 million, sending the proceeds to repay creditors of the collapsed FTX exchange.
Anthropic bought the stake from the government and resold it to a group of nine investors at the same valuation.
Key figures:
• $627 million — the sale price of the seized stake.
• ~$3.94 billion — the potential value of the same stake amid discussions of the company’s valuation ahead of its IPO.
• The value of the stake held by investors who got in early could increase 6.3-fold.
Please note: Anthropic’s final valuation and offering price for its upcoming IPO have not yet been officially set, but anticipation is mounting around the valuation of Claude’s developer!
Do you think Anthropic will live up to investors’ expectations when it goes public?
