Anthropic’s Secret $150B Valuation Push Could Turn FTX’s Ghost Stake Into a $12B Goldmine—Here’s Why Investors Are Watching Closely
The discussions come just four months after the AI startup raised $3.5 billion at a $61.5 billion valuation in a Series E led by Lightspeed Venture Partners. If successful, the new round would more than double Anthropic’s valuation in a short span.
The OpenAI rival is reportedly targeting $3 billion to $5 billion in fresh capital. At the $150 billion mark, the valuation would imply that FTX’s former 8% stake, sold last year for $1.3 billion, could now be worth over $12 billion.
The buyer of that stake was a UAE-based fund affiliated with MGX, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign AI investment arm, which the Wall Street Journal reported last year had acquired the stake from FTX. The Financial Times now says MGX is seeking to participate in the new raise.
