OpenAI in Talks for Massive Funding Round at $750 Billion Valuation

Stock News2025-12-18

According to informed sources, OpenAI is currently negotiating with investors to raise billions of dollars at a staggering $750 billion valuation. Discussions remain preliminary, and details may still change.

In recent years, OpenAI has secured billions in funding at rapidly escalating valuations, including preliminary talks with Amazon earlier this month regarding a $10 billion investment. The unprofitable startup is now one of the most prominent players in the resource-intensive AI sector, with plans to invest trillions in infrastructure to support the technology.

### OpenAI’s Valuation Soars in 2025 If 2024 was the "Year of AI Adoption," 2025 has become OpenAI’s "Year of Financial Miracles," with its valuation defying gravity. In just one year, OpenAI has transformed from a "unicorn" into a "megacorp."

- **Q1 2025**: SoftBank led a $40 billion funding round, catapulting OpenAI’s valuation from $157 billion at the end of 2024 to $300 billion, cementing its position as the global AI leader. - **October 2025**: A $6.6 billion secondary share sale by employees pushed OpenAI’s valuation to $500 billion, driven by explosive annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth. By mid-2025, OpenAI’s ARR surpassed $12 billion, multiplying several times over 2024 levels.

The latest reports indicate OpenAI is now targeting a $750 billion valuation in ongoing funding talks. If successful, this would mean OpenAI’s valuation has nearly quintupled in just one year.
