Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has struck a deal with a consortium of buyers to sell the majority of its stake in artificial intelligence startup Anthropic for $884 million, according to a filing submitted late Friday to a Delaware court.
That group is purchasing nearly $500 million worth of Anthropic shares.
Multiple sovereign wealth funds were reportedly clamoring for a piece of FTX's Anthropic stake.
Jane Street's head of quantitative research, Craig Falls, has also proposed to personally buy around $20 million worth of shares.
Should it be approved, the sale would collectively account for nearly two-thirds of FTX's shares in Anthropic.
