FT: The $500M Sam Bankman-Fried put into Anthropic would be worth about $37B at next week’s expected IPO price.

Alameda Research Ventures, his trading firm’s venture arm, bought nearly 14% in 2021, when the lab was worth about $4B.

That cash helped Anthropic hire researchers and train its first models.

After his FTX exchange collapsed and he was convicted of fraud, the bankruptcy estate sold the stake in 2024 for about $1.3B.

Similarly SBF's fund Alameda put $200K into Cursor maker Anysphere’s pre-seed round in April 2022 for about 5% of the company, and the bankruptcy estate sold that stake for the same $200K in 2023.

At the $60B SpaceX paid for Anysphere, a 5% stake would be worth about $3B
