> Anthropic bought 4,453,900 seized Series B shares from the U.S. government in October 2025 and resold them to nine buyers at $140.9676 each. A projected IPO valuation estimate puts the block at $3.94 billion.

Anthropic's Form S-1 details a transaction involving 4,453,900 Series B shares seized by the U.S. government. The share count and price imply about $627.9 million in total consideration.

Anthropic acquired the shares from the government in October 2025 for $140.9676 each, then resold them to nine buyers at the same price. The buyers were undisclosed.

The U.S. government's sale was intended to reimburse FTX creditors. A separate estimate based on projected IPO valuations puts the share block at about $3.94 billion, roughly 6.3 times its 2025 transaction value. That figure is an estimate tied to Anthropic's planned Nasdaq listing.
