🇺🇸OpenAI reportedly seeks at least $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion pre-money valuation; financing discussions remain preliminary.

OpenAI reportedly seeks at least $30 billion in new funding at approximately $1.4 trillion before the new investment. Discussions remain at an early stage and may change; OpenAI declined to comment, according to the supplied report.

The financing is described as a bridge round following the postponement of an initial public offering (IPO). Sam Altman said OpenAI was prioritizing AI safety and had no IPO timeline in mind, while separately expressing confidence that investors would remain patient.

The reported previous financing took place in March, when OpenAI raised $122 billion at an $852 billion post-money valuation. Those valuation figures have different bases: March’s figure includes the capital raised, whereas the current target excludes it; the supplied material contains no new-round investor list, security terms, dilution calculation, collateral, or binding commitments.

Separately, a source cited by financialjuice said OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate had grown by more than 70% in the third quarter, approaching $70 billion, and business-to-business revenue had grown by more than 100% in the quarter. These are reported operating metrics—not audited annual revenue—and do not establish that the proposed financing has closed.
