OpenAI (Unlisted:OPAI) is reportedly close to completing the first phase of a funding round that could exceed $100 billion, according to Bloomberg, a move that would mark a record raise for the company and support expansion of its artificial intelligence tools and infrastructure.
Early discussions place OpenAI’s pre-money valuation at around $730 billion, with the overall valuation potentially reaching $850 billion if the round closes at the reported size.
Sources noted that the final figure may shift as the funding process continues, reflecting strong investor interest.
The initial tranche is expected to involve strategic investors such as Amazon, SoftBank, Nvidia, and Microsoft, with subsequent tranches targeting venture capital firms, sovereign wealth funds, and other financial investors.
Bloomberg reported that allocations for the first phase were anticipated by the end of February.
Wedbush analysts noted that the availability of significant funding underscores continued investor appetite for AI.
They added that additional capital should support OpenAI’s forward growth plans and benefit supply chain partners including Nvidia, AMD, and others involved in future infrastructure build-outs.
Wedbush also highlighted the possibility that Amazon’s participation may be linked to an expanded use of Amazon’s cloud services, including Trainium-based AI servers.
