The U.S. government previously seized the shares of Anthropic held by FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's two key allies, Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, and sold the related shares to existing investors of Anthropic in 2025. However, the specific buyers, transaction prices, and the amount received by the government have not been disclosed. The court previously ruled that Ellison and Singh must forfeit their shares in Anthropic. The U.S. government acquired the shares of the two in February and April 2025, respectively. The two had previously invested $10 million and $40 million to participate in Anthropic's Series B financing in 2022.As Anthropic's valuation skyrocketed, the value of their shares significantly increased. UCLA professor Olav Sorenson estimated that based on Anthropic's announced valuation of $965 billion in May this year, the total value of their holdings is approximately $4.17 billion to $5.03 billion; if Anthropic goes public at a valuation of $2 trillion in the future, the value of the related shares could reach about $5.44 billion. It is currently unclear at what price the U.S. government sold these shares. Estimates indicate that if the transaction occurred at different points in time in 2025, the proceeds from the sale of the related shares could range from approximately $250 million to $1.1 billion. Notably, as of the end of June 2026, the proceeds from the sale do not appear to have been transferred into the FTX bankruptcy estate management system. FTX victims' representative Sunil Kavuri stated that the government should use the related funds to compensate the victims; the U.S. Department of Justice claimed that it prioritizes providing compensation to victims from forfeited assets, but information regarding the sale of related assets and fund distribution is confidential.

According to SoSoValue data, this reversal reduced the cumulative net inflow to approximately $55.1 billion, with total net assets of about $93.9 billion. Decrypt's ETF flow tracker turned the Bitcoin sentiment reading to "bearish" on that day.The previous strong performance was particularly remarkable: the Bitcoin ETF had accumulated inflows of $2.8 billion during an eight-day rally, during which Bitcoin briefly tested the $80,000 mark and recorded the largest single-day inflow since May, with a peak single-day inflow exceeding $600 million on August 20.

Over the weekend, Bitcoin rebounded to around $79,000. Analysts pointed out that the single-day outflow relative to the fund's cumulative size remains moderate, and the interruption of the rally may not necessarily indicate a widespread reversal in institutional demand.

Jiang Zhuoer stated that on Friday, Bitcoin spot ETF saw a net outflow of $202 million, ending a nine-day streak of net inflows; Ethereum spot ETF remains strong, continuing with a net inflow of $102 million. He believes that after this round of significant increases, there is a large amount of bear market trapped positions and profit-taking selling demand at the bottom, and whether the price can maintain a high level depends on whether there is enough capital to take over. The flow of ETFs and the Coinbase premium are important indicators to observe the situation of capital absorption.Jiang Zhuoer mentioned that the hawkish remarks from Federal Reserve Chairman Waller had a significant impact on the market, leading to negative key ETF data on Friday and further weakening the weekend market. Currently, BTC is facing its first test since the rise, and the drop in the early morning may be the beginning of a trend decline. He has sold 50% of his ETH spot position during the decline and will continue to observe the weekend trend.
