SBF's Untapped Wealth: Holdings in Anthropic, SOL, Robinhood, and Others Could Be Worth Over $80 Billion If Retained

BlockBeats News, February 13, if the early investments made by the founder of the now-defunct crypto trading platform FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), had not been lost due to asset freezes, their current valuation could have accumulated to over 80 billion USD.

Among them, SBF once invested 500 million USD in the AI startup Anthropic. With the rapid development of the generative AI industry, this equity stake is now estimated to be worth about 70 billion USD.

In addition, SBF accumulated about 60 million USD worth of SOL when the price was around 8 USD. Calculated at its historical peak market value, this position was once worth about 2.1 billion USD. He also invested 100 million USD in Mysten Labs (the development team behind the Sui blockchain), which is currently valued at over 800 million USD.

In the traditional finance sector, SBF also held about 7.5% equity in Robinhood. Based on the current market value, this stake is worth about 10 billion USD.

However, following the collapse of FTX in 2022 and subsequent legal proceedings, the related assets have been taken over by authorities. SBF was previously found guilty of misappropriating customer funds to support high-risk trades and personal investments. Analysis points out that his failure was not due to poor investment judgment, but rather a lack of risk management and compliance standards.
