FTX’s $500M Loss as AI Startup Cursor Soars to $1B Valuation

FTX bankruptcy liquidators sold their $200,000 stake in the AI coding platform Cursor, missing out on a potential $500 million gain.
Since the sale, Cursor, developed by Anysphere Inc., has raised $900 million in funding and reached a $9 billion valuation. With backing from top venture capitalists. The platform, designed to assist developers with smart coding tools, generates over $200 million in annual recurring revenue.
This missed opportunity follows other undervalued asset sales by FTX liquidators. Including the SUI blockchain contracts, which were sold for $1 million before reaching a $3 billion valuation.
