Today, that same stake would be worth around $30 BILLION — a 60x return 🤯
Anthropic recently raised funding at a $380B valuation, making it one of the largest private AI/software companies ever. FTX entered early at around a $2.5B valuation… but during bankruptcy they were forced to sell near an $18B valuation for only $1.5B.
That’s nearly $28B in missed upside from a single investment.
For perspective: FTX’s bankruptcy hole ≈ $9B The Anthropic stake today ≈ worth multiple times that gap
One decision. One forced sale. Billions gone.
Lesson: In crypto and tech, timing and liquidity can change everything.
