"Any sale or transfer of Anthropic stock, or any interest in Anthropic stock, offered by these firms is void and will not be recognized on our books and records."
"The company named Open Doors Partners, Unicorns Exchange, Pachamama Capital, Lionheart Ventures, Hiive, Forge Global, Sydecar and Upmarket as companies that are not authorized to provide access to buy or sell its shares."
"The update comes alongside a rise in the number of investment platforms offering exposure to AI companies' shares (and thus their growth) via secondary markets where existing shareholders sell their shares, "tokenized" securities, special purpose vehicles (SPVs), or secondary market holdings."
"SPVs are different from those derivative systems, offering investors a chance to buy shares of an entity that holds at least some stake in Anthropic. That equity could be from an official investor, or have been acquired when an investor is forced to liquidate its holdings, as happened during the bankruptcy of FTX. In other cases, the equity claim may be entirely fraudulent."
Anthropic updated its website to warn investors that several private and secondary investment platforms are not authorized to provide access to buy or sell Anthropic shares. The company listed Open Doors Partners, Unicorns Exchange, Pachamama Capital, Lionheart Ventures, Hiive, Forge Global, Sydecar, and Upmarket. Anthropic stated that any sale or transfer of its stock or any interest in its stock offered by these firms is void and will not be recognized in its records. The warning follows growth in platforms offering exposure to AI company shares through secondary markets, tokenized securities, special purpose vehicles, and secondary market holdings. Anthropic is described as especially difficult to source, and some crypto products offer derivative exposure rather than actual ownership.
