Ten holding corporations hold the dispersed collection of roughly 500 illiquid investments. According to the data, the overall investment value is greater than $5.4 billion.
The private equity portfolio of Alameda Research made sizeable investments into crypto miner Genesis and the artificial intelligence research group Anthropic. Apart from these, investments into Elon Musk’s SpaceX & Boring Company have also come up along with the likes of Sequoia Capital & Anthony Scaramucci’s SkyBridge Capital.
Alameda’s Crypto Bets
The majority of Alameda’s unspent capital has been put into crypto and other DeFi initiatives like TrueFi, Magic Eden, Burnt Finance, Parallel Finance, Solfarm, Sundaeswap, Sahicoin and others.
Other non-linear crypto investments include Chingari, Dune Analytics, Messari, DaoSquare and others.
Some Non-Crypto Bets
