OpenAI has reportedly raised $15 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation, according to CNBC. The figure falls short of the $1.5 trillion the company first targeted, and the round is viewed as preparation for a potential IPO.
OpenAI has reportedly raised $15 billion in a recent funding round that values the company at $1.25 trillion, according to a CNBC report cited by @wallstengine. SoftBank and Abu Dhabi-based MGX were among the participants in the round.
The new valuation came in slightly below the $1.5 trillion OpenAI initially targeted. Even so, the report places the maker of ChatGPT among the world's most highly valued private companies.
The raise follows a previous $11 billion tranche that closed on November 6, according to a second Crypto Briefing report. That report also says OpenAI raised $122 billion at an $852 billion valuation in March 2026.
The funding is viewed as preparation for a potential initial public offering. However, Crypto Briefing notes that market pricing implies skepticism over whether OpenAI can hold this valuation through a listing.
Market participants now wait for any announcement on OpenAI's IPO plans, such as a formal filing.
