Background & analysis
On October 23, 2026, SiliconANGLE reported that OpenAI Group PBC is in talks with investors over an additional $30 billion funding round that would value the company at $1.25 trillion. The report describes the money as "bridge" funding intended to carry OpenAI through to an IPO. According to the same report, OpenAI may be planning to go public in the near future but is not yet finished with private funding rounds. At that valuation, the report said, OpenAI would rank among the most valuable companies. The report did not name the investors involved, disclose the terms of the deal or offer a timetable, and it did not say whether the negotiations had reached a final stage. The verifiable information therefore stops at the talks themselves; no completed transaction was reported.
