The artificial intelligence startup has secured a record-breaking funding round, propelling its valuation to $852bn. This transaction intensifies expectations surrounding a future stockmarket debut.
OpenAI has finalized a $122bn financing round, exceeding the $110bn initially announced, and bringing its valuation to $852bn. The deal was co-led by SoftBank, with participation from investors such as Andreessen Horowitz and D. E. Shaw Ventures. For the first time, the company also opened the round to individual investors through banking channels, raising approximately $3bn in additional capital.
Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, OpenAI has established itself as a pivotal player in artificial intelligence, boasting over 900 million weekly active users and more than 50 million subscribers. The company now generates approximately $2bn in monthly revenue, following a turnover of $13.1bn in 2025, while remaining loss-making due to massive investments in infrastructure and technological development.
This capital hike comes as OpenAI adjusts its strategy to improve profitability and prepare the markets for a potential initial public offering. Supported by major partners such as Amazon, Nvidia, SoftBank, and Microsoft, the group seeks to consolidate its position in a rapidly expanding sector where capital requirements remain substantial.
