M Group Strategic Communications handles FTX Ventures as the cryptocurrency firm takes a 30 percent stake in former Trump counselor Anthony Scaramucci’s SkyBridge Capital alternative investment firm.
FTX, which is headed by billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried, and SkyBridge have a history of working together.
It has signed a multi-year sponsorship of SkyBridge’s SALT conferences in North America, Asia and the Middle East.
Bankman-Fried will be among the speakers at the upcoming SALT season in New York.
He said FTX looks “forward to collaborating closely with SkyBridge on its crypto investment activity and also working alongside them on promising non-crypto-related investments.”
Scaramucci did a ten-day stint as Donald Trump’s White House communications director but then became a top critic of the former president.
