OpenAI has announced the closure of a major funding round, securing USD 122 billion in committed capital to support what it describes as the next phase of artificial intelligence development. The round values the company at a post-money valuation of USD 852 billion, marking one of the largest capital raises in the technology sector.
The funding was anchored by strategic partners Amazon, NVIDIA and SoftBank, with continued backing from Microsoft. SoftBank co-led the round alongside a group of major investors including a16z, D. E. Shaw Ventures, MGX, TPG and T. Rowe Price Associates.
A wide range of global institutions, such as BlackRock, Sequoia Capital, Temasek and Fidelity, also participated, reflecting broad interest in the rapid expansion of AI technologies.
In a statement, the company said, “This funding gives us the resources to continue to lead at the scale this moment demands.” For the first time, OpenAI also opened part of the investment to individual investors through bank channels, raising more than USD 3 billion. Additionally, the company confirmed it will be included in several exchange-traded funds managed by ARK Invest, a move aimed at widening public participation.
OpenAI has also expanded its revolving credit facility to approximately USD 4.7 billion, supported by major global banks including JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Goldman Sachs and HSBC. The facility remains undrawn, providing financial flexibility for future investments.
