FT reports that Sam Bankman-Fried's Alameda Research Ventures bought nearly 14% of Anthropic in 2021 for $500M at a roughly $4B valuation; at next week's expected IPO price that stake would be worth about $37B. After FTX's collapse, the bankruptcy estate sold the stake in 2024 for about $1.3B. The same fund also took about 5% of Cursor maker Anysphere for $200K in 2022 and sold it for the same amount in 2023; at the $60B SpaceX paid for Anysphere, that stake would be worth about $3B.
