{"content":"Anthropic’s Meteoric Rise—and the Crypto Collapse That Funded It Forget an Apple acquisition: Anthropic just raised $13 billion at a $183B valuation, making it the 4th most valuable private company on earth 😳 That’s 3x higher than just 18 months ago. And puts the AI startup ahead of Stripe, Databricks, and Revolut. Here’s the current leaderboard: 1️⃣ SpaceX - $400B 2️⃣ ByteDance - $330B 3️⃣ OpenAI - $300B 4️⃣ Anthropic - $183B 5️⃣ xAI - $113B Anthropic’s growth has been nothing short of amazing: → Revenue run-rate jumped from $1B to $5B in 8 months. → Claude Code alone is pulling $500 million ARR. → 300,000 business customers across finance, health, and enterprise IT. But here comes the wild part. FTX once bought 8% of Anthropic for $500M. It sold during bankruptcy for $884M. That same stake is now worth a whopping $14.6B 🤯 Turns out, the biggest collapse in crypto history accidentally backed one of AI’s biggest winners. Fate indeed does have a wicked sense of humor, or how else would you explain FTX backing a $183B AI giant? #Write2Earn #AIFuture #TechValuations ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025092025/09/05/31900732431640d3ae12e6f1df0053e8.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":[],"quotearticleid":0}
