Openai is in talks to be estimated at $ 500 billion thanks to a new employee action sale, according to a New York Times report.
The transaction, still under discussion, would involve current and former OpenAi employees selling around $ 6 billion in shares to a group of investors who includes SoftBank, Thrive Capital and Dragoneer Investment Group. The structure is a secondary market agreement, allowing staff to withdraw equity without obliging the company to become public.
$ 500 billion, Openai would exceed SpaceX from Elon Musk to become the most precious private company, according to CB Insights. The IA company quickly changed in evaluation in the past year, from $ 157 billion in October to $ 300 billion in March.
This March Tour, mainly directed by SoftBank, has hired $ 40 billion in funding, of which $ 30 billion could still be delivered before the end of the year. Bloomberg said that Optai expects income to be triple in 2025 to 12.7 billion dollars, with the launch of its new GPT-5 model fueling adoption.
