According to a report by The Information, three sources familiar with the matter revealed that potential buyers have submitted preliminary and non-binding bids for Anthropic, a company owned by the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX. One of the sources stated that the final bids are expected to be completed by the end of this weekend.
Since its bankruptcy at the end of 2022, the cryptocurrency exchange has been working to liquidate its remaining assets, with the proceeds ultimately being used to repay its creditors. Recently, the bankruptcy court approved FTX’s sale of its 7.8% stake in the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic, which was valued over $15 billion in its recent funding round.
The sources disclosed that Perella Weinberg Partners, the investment bank responsible for the sale of FTX’s shares, has requested bidders to submit offers of no less than $30 per share, which is the price from the recent funding round.
According to these sources, venture capital firms and family offices managing wealth are among the potential bidders. It is currently unclear whether other types of companies, such as hedge funds or mutual funds, are also participating in the bidding process.
