↑ 2%FTX's bankruptcy estate sold its 8% stake in Anthropic for $1.3 billion in 2024, a deal that looked profitable at the time. The AI company has since raised funds at a $965 billion valuation, meaning the stake FTX sold would now be worth between $60 billion and $77 billion on paper. The biggest buyer was ATIC Third International Investment, linked to Abu Dhabi's Mubadala fund, which paid nearly $500 million. Jane Street, where FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried previously worked, bought $100 million worth. Other buyers included Fidelity, Ford Foundation, and HOF Capital. FTX creditors have recovered 103% to 120% of their claims, totalling roughly $10 billion across five payment rounds. However, claims were valued at November 2022 prices, when bitcoin traded around $16,000, meaning customers won't benefit from subsequent crypto appreciation or Anthropic's massive valuation increase.
Broadcom has agreed to lend Anthropic up to $42 billion to finance infrastructure spending, according to the AI company's IPO filing. The convertible debt could fund roughly a third of Anthropic's $125.2 billion commitment for a five-year lease of tensor processing unit computing capacity. Anthropic is expected to become Broadcom's largest customer in its chip design business next year. The arrangement mirrors strategies used by Nvidia, which has leveraged its balance sheet to boost chip sales. The filing disclosed potential conflicts of interest, as Broadcom's dual role as hardware supplier and financing partner could affect Anthropic's access to computing power. Broadcom projects AI semiconductor revenue of approximately $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028. The financing arrangement allows Broadcom to designate a financing partner, and the debt could convert into Anthropic shares.
Akamai Technologies announced an $11.6 billion, seven-year agreement with AI company Anthropic, which will use Akamai Cloud's infrastructure to support its CPU workloads. The deal includes provisions to expand by another $9 billion, potentially reaching $20 billion. Akamai also issued warrants to Anthropic that could represent roughly 5% of its outstanding shares. The Massachusetts-based cloud computing and cybersecurity firm had already secured $2.8 billion in multi-year cloud infrastructure commitments this year. Shares jumped over 20% following the announcement and are up 45% over the past year. The agreement will require $5.5 billion in new capital expenditures, with $1.7 billion realised in the fourth quarter. Analysts see significant upside, with a mean price target representing 44% potential gains from current levels.
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman praised AI startup Anthropic as "perhaps the greatest business story I've ever seen" but said his hedge fund Pershing Square likely won't invest in the company. Speaking to Bloomberg TV on Wednesday, Ackman lauded Anthropic's revenue growth and Claude product. However, he explained his fund prefers predictable, capital-efficient businesses like Microsoft, Visa, and Mastercard rather than fast-growing companies consuming substantial capital. He also questioned whether frontier AI models can maintain their advantage against lower-cost alternatives. Anthropic reportedly achieved nearly $4.6 billion in 2025 revenue, up 12-fold, but net losses reached $42 billion. The company is targeting a $2 trillion valuation in its planned IPO later this year. Pershing Square currently holds shares in Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft.
OpenAI has launched a marketplace allowing customers to retire spend commitments through 32 partners, mirroring AWS Marketplace's model. The move signals OpenAI's strategy to win through merit rather than coercion. By including Baseten, which provides access to open models, OpenAI demonstrates willingness to embrace competing models. This contrasts with Anthropic's approach, which blocks Claude Pro users from integrating with certain tools. The marketplace features caveats: only a fixed percentage of spend applies up to a cap, eligibility varies by customer and product, and billing occurs directly through partners. There's no self-service option at launch. The development positions OpenAI to benefit from customer decisions beyond model selection, potentially making its contract central to software purchasing decisions. This shift suggests AI labs are becoming the new cloud providers, whilst traditional cloud providers risk becoming less relevant to technology adoption decisions.
