Altman Dismisses Speculation About OpenAI IPO

[etfs]

When asked about plans to take OpenAI public, Altman denied any specific IPO timeline.

“No no no, we don’t have anything that specific,” he said, stressing that while an IPO may happen “someday,” there is no board decision or set date. Altman also expressed amusement at critics claiming OpenAI could fail, suggesting that skeptics could simply short the stock if the company were public — a scenario he jokingly welcomed.

Staying private gives OpenAI the flexibility it needs right now. Smart move.

IPO rumors will keep coming — focus remains on scaling, not listing.
