A Game-Changing Investment for Creditors
FTX’s $500 million investment in Anthropic was considered a game-changer for creditors just two weeks ago. However, its rival, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, has now received a staggering valuation of $86 billion.
A Valuation Higher Than Stripe
The team at OpenAI is currently in negotiations with potential investors for a tender offer. While the terms are not finalized yet and may still change, the company’s valuation could surpass prominent companies like Stripe and Shein, making it one of the most valuable private companies globally. OpenAI is led by CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, with Microsoft Corp. holding a 49 percent ownership stake.
A Significant Valuation
FTX temporarily suspended the sale of Anthropic shares due to ongoing bankruptcy proceedings. However, there is anticipation that future funding rounds for Anthropic will significantly increase the company’s valuation. This would consequently raise the value of FTX’s stake and improve the chances of a full recovery for creditors.
Sam Bankman-Fried’s Trial
Meanwhile, FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried is currently on trial, now entering day 12.
Hot Take: OpenAI’s Soaring Valuation
If OpenAI achieves an $86 billion valuation, it would place them among the world’s most valuable private companies. This highlights the growing importance of artificial intelligence and its potential for immense financial success. With investments pouring into AI startups like OpenAI, it’s clear that this industry is shaping the future and attracting significant attention from both investors and creditors alike.
