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

FTX Estate 通过出售 Anthropic 大部分股份筹集 8.84 亿美元

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 破产财产已达成协议，将其在人工智能初创公司 Anthropic Technology, Inc. 的大部分股份剥离给由 20 家机构投资者组成的财团，总收益为 8.84 亿美元。

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.

根据周五公布的法庭文件，最大的单一买家是ATIC Third International Investment Company，这是一家由阿布扎比主权财富基金Mubadala全资拥有的风险投资基金。 ATIC已承诺以5亿美元的价格从FTX收购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.

该交易的其他著名参与者包括 Jane Street Global Trading，一家自营交易公司，前 FTX 首席执行官 Sam Bankman-Fried 曾受聘；隶属于富达投资的未公开基金；以及慈善组织福特基金会。

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.

这次出售代表着 FTX 财产的重大复苏，自 2022 年 11 月交易所惨遭倒闭后，该财产一直致力于偿还债权人和客户。今年 1 月，该财产宣布打算向账户持有人偿还截至 2022 年 12 月的全部资产价值。破产申请。 Anthropic 股票出售的公告导致 FTX 的 FTT 代币价格上涨 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 及其附属贸易公司 Alameda Research 最初于 2021 年以 5 亿美元的价格收购了 Anthropic 8% 的股份。随后，由于 ChatGPT 的流行，人们对人工智能的兴趣激增，导致股票价值大幅升值。今年二月，纽约破产法官授权该遗产进行出售。

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.

由于旷日持久的尽职调查，早先于 2023 年 6 月尝试剥离股份的行动最终未能成功。本次交易的成功完成标志着与最近 FTX 资产处置中采用的甩卖方式的不同，例如去年以 5000 万美元出售 LedgerX。 FTX 于 2021 年以 2.98 亿美元收购了这家美国衍生品交易所。
