SBF's untapped wealth: If its holdings in Anthropic, SOL, Robinhood, etc., were retained, their value would exceed $80 billion.

According to Mars Finance, on February 13th, the early investments of Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), founder of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX, could have been valued at over $80 billion had they not been frozen. Among these investments was a $500 million investment in AI startup Anthropic. With the rapid development of the generative AI industry, this stake is now valued at approximately $70 billion. Additionally, SBF purchased approximately $60 million worth of SOL when its price was around $8, a position worth approximately $2.1 billion at its historical high. He also invested $100 million in Mysten Labs (the blockchain development team for Sui), currently valued at over $800 million. In the traditional financial sector, SBF also held approximately 7.5% of Robinhood, valued at approximately $10 billion at current market capitalization. However, following the collapse of FTX in 2022 and subsequent legal proceedings, these assets have been seized by authorities. SBF was previously found guilty of misappropriating client funds to support high-risk trading and personal investments. Analysts point out that its failure stemmed not from flawed investment judgments, but from a lack of sound risk management and compliance.
