FTX Estate Raises $884 Million in Majority Sale of Anthropic Shares

FTX Estate 透過出售 Anthropic 大部分股份籌集 8.84 億美元

The FTX bankruptcy estate has reached an agreement to divest a majority of its shares in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic Technology, Inc. to a syndicate of two dozen institutional investors, yielding a total of $884 million.

FTX 破產財產已達成協議，將其在人工智慧新創公司 Anthropic Technology, Inc. 的大部分股份剝離給由 20 家機構投資者組成的財團，總收益為 8.84 億美元。

According to court filings unsealed on Friday, the largest single purchaser is ATIC Third International Investment Company, a venture capital fund wholly owned by Mubadala, the sovereign wealth fund of Abu Dhabi. ATIC has committed to acquiring 16,664,167 shares of Anthropic from FTX for a consideration of $500 million.

根據週五公佈的法庭文件，最大的單一買家是ATIC Third International Investment Company，這是一家由阿布達比主權財富基金Mubadala全資擁有的創投基金。 ATIC已承諾以5億美元的價格從FTX收購Anthropic的16,664,167股股票。

Other notable participants in the transaction include Jane Street Global Trading, a proprietary trading firm that formerly employed former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried; undisclosed funds affiliated with Fidelity Investments; and The Ford Foundation, a philanthropic organization.

該交易的其他著名參與者包括 Jane Street Global Trading，一家自營交易公司，前 FTX 執行長 Sam Bankman-Fried 曾受聘；隸屬於富達投資的未公開基金；以及慈善組織福特基金會。

The sale represents a significant recovery for the FTX estate, which has been tasked with repaying creditors and customers following the exchange's spectacular collapse in November 2022. In January, the estate announced its intention to reimburse account holders for the full value of their assets as of the bankruptcy filing. The announcement of the Anthropic share sale contributed to a 10% increase in the price of FTX's FTT token.

這次出售代表FTX 財產的重大復甦，自2022 年11 月交易所慘遭倒閉後，該財產一直致力於償還債權人和客戶。今年1 月，該財產宣布打算向帳戶持有人償還截至2022 年12月的全部資產價值。破產申請。 Anthropic 股票出售的公告導致 FTX 的 FTT 代幣價格上漲 10%。

FTX and its affiliated trading firm, Alameda Research, initially acquired their 8% stake in Anthropic in 2021 for a price of $500 million. The subsequent surge in interest in artificial intelligence, fueled in part by the popularity of ChatGPT, resulted in a substantial appreciation in the value of the shares. In February, a New York bankruptcy judge authorized the estate to proceed with the sale.

FTX 及其附屬貿易公司 Alameda Research 最初於 2021 年以 5 億美元的價格收購了 Anthropic 8% 的股份。隨後，由於 ChatGPT 的流行，人們對人工智慧的興趣激增，導致股票價值大幅升值。今年二月，紐約破產法官授權該遺產進行出售。

An earlier attempt to divest the shares in June 2023 was ultimately unsuccessful due to protracted due diligence inquiries. The successful conclusion of the present transaction marks a departure from the fire sale approach employed in other recent FTX asset disposals, such as the $50 million sale of LedgerX last year. FTX acquired the U.S.-based derivatives exchange for $298 million in 2021.

由於曠日持久的盡職調查，早先於 2023 年 6 月嘗試剝離股份的行動最終未能成功。本次交易的成功完成標誌著與最近 FTX 資產處置中採用的甩賣方式的不同，例如去年以 5000 萬美元出售 LedgerX。 FTX 於 2021 年以 2.98 億美元收購了這家美國衍生性商品交易所。
