OpenAI is preparing for a public stock offering with a valuation of $1 trillion. This could become one of the largest IPOs<\/span> in history, writes Reuters<\/a>, citing sources.<\/p>\n

According to the agency, the company intends to file with securities regulators in the second half of 2026. Initially, there was talk of raising $60 billion, but the amount could be increased.<\/p>\n

Reuters notes that discussions are at an early stage, and terms may change depending on business growth and overall market conditions.<\/p>\n

Journalists added that CFO Sarah Friar informed some employees about plans to go public in 2027. Meanwhile, some advisors believe the listing could occur earlier\u2014by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAn IPO is not our main goal, so we couldn\u2019t set a date. We are building a sustainable business and advancing our mission so everyone can benefit from AGI<\/span>,\u201d commented an OpenAI representative.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Restructuring as a Path to IPO<\/h2>\n

Recently, the company completed<\/a> a comprehensive restructuring, dividing it into a commercial corporation and a non-profit foundation.<\/p>\n

The OpenAI Foundation controls OpenAI Group, which can freely raise funds or acquire companies without legal restrictions.<\/p>\n

The foundation owns 26% of the commercial company and can appoint its board of directors. Microsoft received 27%, and investors and partners hold 47%.<\/p>\n

An IPO will allow the startup to attract capital more effectively, make significant acquisitions using public shares, and fund CEO Sam Altman\u2019s plans to invest trillions in AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s fair to say that this is the most likely path for us [IPO], given the capital needs,\u201d the entrepreneur said during a live broadcast.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to Reuters sources, with an expected annual revenue of about $20 billion, OpenAI also faces increasing losses.<\/p>\n

A Win for Investors<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A successful stock offering would be a significant achievement for OpenAI investors such as SoftBank, Thrive Capital, MGX from Abu Dhabi, and Microsoft. The latter has invested a total of $13 billion in the startup, and with a $1 trillion valuation, the corporation\u2019s stake would reach $270 billion.<\/p>\n

The development of artificial intelligence is driving the growth of technology-related stocks. On October 29, AI chip developer Nvidia became the first company in history to reach a market capitalization of $5 trillion.<\/p>\n
