Court Clears FTX Path to Sell Its Shares in Anthropic AI: Filing 

FTX, a leader at the time, has made investments of billions of dollars in the crypto space and outside, too. The young founder of the centralized cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman Fried, has been sentenced to jail over dozens of allegations, including fraud. 

Anthropic AI has a close connection with FTX and its founder, Sam. During its early stages, the exchange invested $500 Million in the firm. As of writing, FTX holds around 8% of the company. 

While hearing the plea filed by FTX to sell its shares in Anthropic AI, a U.S. bank Judge ruled and said the exchange might sell its shares. 

The defending attorney of FTX, Andy Dietderich, said, “We are selling the Anthropic shares, as we are selling everything, and putting the money in the bank.” 

According to the February court filing, “Given the increased interest in AI and large language models, there has been significant appreciation in the value of the Anthropic Shares since the Debtors’ acquisition and investment in Anthropic in 2021.” 

In the short span after its launch, FTX gathered billions of dollars in funding from leading venture capitals and other leading firms in the crypto space. Following the sudden demise of the exchange, dozens of companies filed for bankruptcy. 

At the time, FTX was the second most prominent cryptocurrency exchange. However, its downfall started when a leaked balance sheet of the investment arm of FTX, Alameda Research, went viral; the leak is claimed to have been carried out by Binance. 

Before the demise of the exchange of Sam Bankman, the FTT token’s all-time highest trading price was $85.02. Millions of users and dozens of creditors lost hope of returning their funds.

Anthropic AI Market Share & AI Market Cap

In the past few quarters, the Artificial Intelligence industry has evolved significantly. Following the launch of AI-based tools, a growth in lay-offs in almost every sector was observed. 

However, there are still dozens of unexplored capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, and more technological advancement is expected in the coming months.
