OpenAI Reportedly Prepares for $1 Trillion IPO

October 31, 2025
OpenAI is reportedly preparing to file for an initial public offering that could value the company at up to $1 trillion, with plans to potentially file as early as 2026. The company recently completed a restructuring that may facilitate the move, though it maintains that an IPO is not currently its focus.

Artificial intelligence company OpenAI is preparing to file for an initial public offering that could value it at up to $1 trillion, according to Bloomberg, citing a Reuters report. The company is reportedly considering filing paperwork with regulators as early as the second half of 2026.

OpenAI has discussed raising at least $60 billion through the IPO, which would rank among the largest public offerings ever. The company recently completed a restructuring into a more traditional corporate organization, a move that could make a public listing possible.

A spokesperson for OpenAI said that an IPO is not currently the company’s focus, emphasizing that it is concentrating on building a durable business. CEO Sam Altman recently said that while the company is not yet profitable, an eventual IPO remains the most likely path to secure the capital needed for its AI infrastructure investments.

OpenAI was most recently valued at $500 billion in an employee share sale and has committed to spending approximately $1.4 trillion on AI infrastructure, according to Altman.
