The FTX bankruptcy estate has raised $884 million by selling the majority of its Anthropic shares to two dozen institutional investors.

"FTX's FTT token climbed 10% on the news." From the report: According to Friday court filings, the top buyer is ATIC Third International Investment Company, a tech investment company wholly owned by the government of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala. ATIC has agreed to purchase 16,664,167 shares of Anthropic from FTX for $500 million. Other buyers include Jane Street Global Trading -- an affiliate of the erstwhile employer of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried -- "certain funds" tied to Fidelity Investments and The Ford Foundation.
