The U.S. government sold too soon
FTX-linked Anthropic shares sold for $627 million
Now they could be worth nearly $4 billion!
Holy shit
Guys
The FTX saga has been going on this long
And somehow there’s still an unbelievable twist
According to Anthropic’s recently filed IPO registration statement
The U.S. government sold 4,453,900 shares of Anthropic in October 2025
For about $627 million
Just to be clear
This transaction was only recently disclosed in the filing
The U.S. government didn’t suddenly sell the shares today
The shares originally belonged to former FTX executives Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh
Both pleaded guilty in related criminal cases and surrendered their assets
The shares were later seized by the government
Put simply
This is another piece of FTX’s legacy
The most fucking painful part is
The original investment cost for these shares was about $50 million
By the time they were sold, they had become worth $627 million
That’s more than a tenfold increase on paper
But using the assumed Anthropic valuation of $1.5 trillion cited in reports
These shares could be worth nearly $3.94 billion
About six times what they sold for back then!
Tell me that doesn’t fucking sting
That said
Valuations, liquidity, legal requirements for disposing of the assets, and the risks of a future IPO
Were all different back then
Nearly $4 billion is only an estimate based on an assumed valuation
It’s not cash that’s already been realized
More importantly
Reports say the proceeds from the sale are being used to compensate creditors and victims of the FTX bankruptcy
For them
Turning the assets into cash is certainly important
But who gets the money, and when it arrives
That’s what they really care about
