$500 million turns into $30 billion: SBF's craziest "stroke of genius" before going to prison

Who would have thought that FTX's biggest legacy would be an 8% stake in AI giant Anthropic? In 2022, SBF spent $500 million on Anthropic's Series B round, leveraging his network in the "Effective Altruism" (EA) circle.

Based on a valuation of $380 billion in 2026, this investment theoretically exceeds $30 billion in value, yielding a 60-fold return!

Ironically, to pay off debts, the liquidation team sold it early in 2024 for $1.3 billion. This is probably the most expensive "regret" in crypto history, and it also reveals the hidden network of money connecting AI and Crypto.
