OpenAI's Valuation Soars to $100 Billion in New Funding Round
OpenAI has witnessed a significant surge in its valuation, with investors committing up to $100 billion in a new funding round. This has sparked worries about a potential AI bubble, as the startup's worth could eclipse that of SpaceX if confirmed.
The funding round saw participation from various firms, including SoftBank, Thrive Capital, Dragoneer, MGX, and T. Rowe Price. These investors joined a secondary stock sale, with Nvidia making a substantial strategic investment of up to $100 billion to support AI infrastructure. However, the exact ownership stakes have not been publicly revealed.
OpenAI plans to utilize these funds to invest hundreds of billions over the coming years, focusing on building computing infrastructure. This move comes amidst a competitive landscape, with rival Anthropic raising $13 billion at a $183 billion valuation last month. OpenAI's valuation has soared to $500 billion in a deal for employees to sell shares, reflecting the growing interest and potential of AI technologies.
OpenAI's latest funding round has positioned it as a potential leader in the AI space, with plans to heavily invest in infrastructure. Despite concerns about an AI bubble, the company's robust revenue growth—around $4.3 billion in the first half of 2025—indicates its potential and the broader market's confidence in AI's future.
