According to sources familiar with the deal, OpenAI is about to finalize a round of financing, with a pre-investment valuation of 1.25 trillion US dollars, and the maximum funding scale can reach 30 billion US dollars. Sources said that this round of financing was co-led by UAE investors and Coatue. This funding is positioned as a potential bridge before the IPO. People familiar with the matter said that OpenAI plans to raise up to $30 billion, with a pre-investment estimate of $1.25 trillion, not including this round of newly raised capital. OpenAI told investors on Thursday that it aims to complete the signing of an agreement between the parties by the end of next week, but the final overall size of this round of financing has yet to be determined. Relevant sources said that the financing was an “opportunistic” bridging fund, paving the way for subsequent IPOs. The company revealed to internal employees that OpenAI is likely to go public in 2027. According to other sources, in addition to equity investment, OpenAI is currently negotiating a commercial agreement with the UAE, hoping to obtain more computing power resources to support the expansion of its AI business.
