This development is of particular significance to FTX and its investors

FTX and its affiliated hedge fund, Alameda, had injected $500 million into Anthropic, as revealed in an internal document distributed before the bankruptcy filing in November, as reported by Bloomberg.

FTX's $500 million investment, once a source of uncertainty amid Anthropic's bankruptcy proceedings, is now poised to potentially yield substantial returns

As reported earlier in June, FTX had paused its sale of Anthropic shares during bankruptcy proceedings

Though it is unclear at what valuation FTX acquired its stake in Anthropic, it is likely that upcoming funding rounds of Anthropic will raise the company’s valuation by manifolds, raising the value of FTX’s stake.

Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, tweeted that if FTX liquidators play it smart and act in the interest of creditors, the Anthropic stake could vastly improve the recovery chances, with potential of full recovery

When FTX filed for bankruptcy, the hole in the exchange was equivalent to $9 billion. However, since then FTX estate has recovered a reported "$7B in liquid assets so far”, leaving $2 billion. FTX’s investment in Anthropic could prove to be highly fruitful for the creditors
