Kalshi executive John Wang said Sam Bankman-Fried was not central to early Anthropic and Cursor bets, pointing instead to Leopold Aschenbrenner, whose fund has surged in value.
Leopold Aschenbrenner’s Situational Awareness fund has grown to more than $20 billion after returning 270% this year and more than 1,000% cumulatively. Anthropic accounts for about one-fifth of assets, highlighting the concentration of the portfolio around a major AI holding. Kalshi crypto business head John Wang said on X that Sam Bankman-Fried was not the main force behind early bets on Anthropic and Cursor, and instead credited former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner.
