In November 2022, Sam Bankman-Fried announced the bankruptcy of the FTX exchange after accumulating debts reaching $9 billion, amid accusations of mismanagement and misappropriation of company assets in high-risk investments.

But less than four years later... the irony is astonishing.

By April 2026, estimates suggest that if FTX had survived and retained its investments, it would now have a portfolio valued at approximately $114 billion.

Major Investments

Anthropic Company

Owned an 8% stake for $500 million, later sold for $1.3 billion… but today valued at about $82.3 billion (165 times).

SpaceX Company

Stake now estimated at $15 billion (about 75 times growth).

Solana Company

An early investment at $8, rising to $64, with a total value of $5.1 billion.

Robinhood Company

Stake now estimated at $4.9 billion (8 times).

Genesis Digital Assets Company

Valued at around $3.5 billion (3 times).

Cursor Company

An investment of $200,000 for 5%… sold at the same price after the bankruptcy.

Today? After a potential deal with SpaceX valued at $60 billion, the stake would have been worth $3 billion (15,000 times).

The Greatest Irony
The bankruptcy committee managed to recover $18 billion for users by selling these investments, considering it a significant achievement for paying creditors with profits.

But if these investments had been kept, their value today would be over $114 billion, possibly one of the largest venture capital portfolios in history.

A harsh irony in the world of investing reveals that sometimes timing is just as important as the decision... $BTC
