Reported on November 11, 2026. TechFlow wrote that day that the X account 3X Long Labubu (@labubu_trader) had posted a claim of buying Anthropic shares during the FTX bankruptcy liquidation at an $18 billion valuation, and of jokingly thanking Sam Bankman-Fried as “the greatest angel investor.”
The same item linked that claim to an earlier Financial Times report that Anthropic’s underwriters were preparing to move the IPO price above a $70–78 range, which could take the valuation above $1.5 trillion. Dividing those two figures produces a rise of about 83 times. The comparison is conditional on both inputs: the $18 billion level is what the account stated, and the higher figure is a range underwriters were described as preparing, not a completed offering price.
TechFlow’s summary of public information describes the poster as a Silicon Valley AI engineer working on inference and training who trades U.S. AI and semiconductor stocks part-time, with analysis centered on market structure, leverage, and options flow. The account had about 77,000 followers. Its name refers to Labubu dolls collected for the poster’s daughter.
On the shares themselves, the report states that FTX and Alameda invested about $500 million in Anthropic in 2021, and that after the FTX bankruptcy the estate sold that stake in batches in 2024. The item does not document that this account bought in those sales, or at what size or terms.
The reported multiple therefore rests on a social-media statement plus an IPO price that had not been finalized. The source supplies no verified cost basis, allocation, or completed valuation.
