 Sam Altman’s World Raises $135M in Token Sale to a16z and Bain Capital Crypto

Silicon Valley’s favorite golden boy strikes again—this time with blockchain ambitions. Sam Altman’s latest venture, World, just raked in $135 million from heavyweights a16z and Bain Capital Crypto. No vague whitepaper promises here—just cold, hard institutional cash.

VCs double down on the ‘next big thing’… or is it just FOMO? With Altman’s track record, even crypto skeptics might want to pay attention. But let’s be real—when’s the last time a nine-figure token sale actually delivered for retail investors?

One thing’s certain: the hype machine is well-oiled. Now we wait to see if the product lives up to the pedigree—or if this is another ‘masterclass’ in moving capital from funds to founders.
