SBF, who previously led a $100 million investment in the artificial intelligence company Anthropic, will receive $300 million in new funding

ChainCatcher news, according to The New York Times, two people familiar with the matter said that the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is set to raise about $300 million in new funding, which could value Anthropic at around $5 billion, although the final valuation has not been determined.

It is reported that Anthropic was founded in 2021, raised $124 million in Series A funding in 2021, and secured $580 million in funding in 2022 led by former FTX CEO SBF. According to an article by Bloomberg, FTX/Alameda may have already invested $500 million in Anthropic, as a $500 million item on its previously disclosed balance sheet was labeled "Anthropic." With the rise of ChatGPT, the AI sector has become a hotspot for financing, but it remains unclear what the specific connection is between SBF and Anthropic. (The New York Times)
