IA Anthropic’s company has negotiated a financing cycle of several billion dollars which could promote its valuation to $ 150 billion.
According to a Times financial report, the company is looking to collect between 3 billion and $ 5 billion among investors in the Middle East.
FTX has missed $ 10 billion upwards
This new capital would considerably improve the capacity of anthropic to evolve and compete with other major players in the space of AI.
The potential evaluation reported marks a spectacular increase compared to its previous figure of $ 61.5 billion. He aroused the interest of the interest of companies such as MGX based in Abu Dhabi and others focused on advanced technologies.
In the event of success, funding will mark one of the largest investments in AI to date. The ascent of Anthropic also throws a new light on its previous investors, in particular the Crypto Exchange FTX, now disappeared.
The founder of the FTX, Sam Bankman Fried, invested $ 500 million in Anthropic in 2021. He acquired an 8% stake when the company was estimated at only $ 2.5 billion.
FTX then sold this investment for $ 1.4 billion during its bankruptcy procedure, after the anthropic assessment, reached $ 18 billion.
The startup now targeting an assessment of $ 150 billion, this same participation of 8% was worth around $ 12 billion – an increase almost ten times compared to what FTX has recovered.
The missed gain reflects the wider impact of bankruptcy on creditors and stakeholders who continue to request compensation.
Meanwhile, the FTX has already started to reimburse the creditors, with its last distribution on May 30, disbursing nearly $ 5 billion.
The reimbursement process began in February. He prioritized small applicants with less than $ 50,000 in approved complaints, including interest run since the collapse of the stock market in November 2022.
FTX will start the next payment phase on September 30. This tower will cover claims for class 5 customers, general claims for class 6 and recently approved convenience and complaints of convenience.
These payments are part of the wider recovery strategy described in the exchange of exchange.
However, not all creditors are ready to receive payments. The succession excluded the applicants of 49 countries which it designates as “limited jurisdictions”, including China.
This decision triggered the excess of affected users, who argue that the exclusions are unfair and could create disturbing previous for future cases of international bankruptcy.
