Nansen CEO: If CZ Had Acquired FTX Back Then, He Would Now Indirectly Hold Significant Stakes in Anthropic and Cursor

Odaily reported that Alex Svanevik, CEO of on-chain data analytics platform Nansen, posted on X stating that from a hindsight perspective, if Binance founder CZ had completed the acquisition of FTX back then, his potential asset structure would have changed significantly. He would now likely hold an indirect exposure of approximately 8% stake in Anthropic, about 5% stake in the AI coding tool Cursor, as well as some investment interests related to SpaceX.

It is reported that in November 2022, CZ had disclosed his intention to acquire FTX but later abandoned the plan after due diligence uncovered issues beyond his control. Subsequently, FTX filed for bankruptcy protection.
