Overview
- A February 2026 analysis shared by crypto researcher Axel Bitblaze estimates FTX’s investments could have grown from about $4.7 billion to $52.5 billion if held to today.
- FTX sold its 8% Anthropic stake for $1.3 billion in 2024; at Anthropic’s current $380 billion valuation, that stake would be worth roughly $30.4 billion.
- The estate offloaded 25–30 million locked Solana tokens at $64 each in 2024 as SOL traded near $174, and the token now changes hands above $130.
- Sam Bankman-Fried’s 7.6% Robinhood stake, purchased for $648 million and later returned to the estate after a DOJ seizure, would be valued near $5.7 billion at today’s market cap.
- Total recoveries of roughly $18 billion enabled creditor payouts of about 118% to 143% of petition-date claims, even as other positions show large paper gains, including K5/SpaceX exposure (~$3 billion), Genesis Digital Assets (~$3.5 billion), and Sui sold for under $100 million versus a ~$1.2 billion peak.
