OpenAI Eyes Massive $100B Funding Round, Could Hit $830B Valuation

[madmax]

OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise up to $100 billion in a funding round, potentially valuing the ChatGPT maker at $750–$830 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The company may invite sovereign wealth funds to participate in the round, aiming to close it by the end of Q1 2026.

OpenAI plans to use the funding to support its AI development, global expansion, and compute-intensive operations, as cloud credits and partnerships no longer fully cover costs.

Rivalry is intensifying with Anthropic, Google, and other AI competitors, pushing OpenAI to accelerate model releases and ecosystem growth.

With investors scrutinizing the long-term sustainability of debt-fueled AI investments, this fundraise could mark one of the largest in tech history.
