OpenAI has successfully completed a $122 billion capital raise, establishing a new benchmark for private funding rounds. This historic investment brings the company’s post-money valuation to $852 billion, positioning it as the highest-valued private company in existence.
Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank served as anchor investors for this funding round. Microsoft, a longstanding financial supporter, participated alongside other investors. SoftBank shared co-lead responsibilities with a16z, D.E. Shaw Ventures, MGX, TPG, and T. Rowe Price-advised accounts.
The comprehensive investor roster features BlackRock, Blackstone, Fidelity, Sequoia, Temasek, Coatue, ARK Invest, Thrive Capital, and Insight Partners, alongside numerous others.
In an unprecedented move, OpenAI made this funding round accessible to individual investors through banking partnerships, attracting more than $3 billion from retail participants. The company will gain inclusion in multiple ARK Invest exchange-traded funds.
The company reports current monthly revenue of $2 billion. This figure represents substantial acceleration from the $1 billion quarterly revenue reported at the close of 2024.
ChatGPT currently serves more than 900 million weekly active users alongside 50 million paying subscribers. According to company data, monthly web traffic exceeds the next-largest AI application by a factor of six.
Enterprise clients now contribute over 40% of total revenue. OpenAI projects enterprise revenue will match consumer revenue by the conclusion of 2026.
The platform’s APIs handle more than 15 billion tokens per minute. Codex, the company’s coding agent, has grown to over 2 million weekly users, representing a fivefold increase within three months.
Development of Integrated AI Platform
OpenAI has announced plans to create a comprehensive AI superapp, consolidating ChatGPT, Codex, browsing capabilities, and agentic features within a single platform. This initiative aims to enhance model accessibility and usability across large-scale operations.
The organization emphasized compute infrastructure as a critical strategic priority. Cloud partnerships span Microsoft, Oracle, AWS, CoreWeave, and Google Cloud. Hardware collaborations include Nvidia, AMD, AWS Trainium, Cerebras, and a proprietary chip under development with Broadcom.
Financial Facilities and Market Position
The company has enlarged its revolving credit facility to approximately $4.7 billion. Financial institutions supporting this facility include JPMorgan Chase, Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, and additional partners. As of March 31, the facility remains entirely undrawn.
The $852 billion valuation places OpenAI in comparable territory with Berkshire Hathaway. This figure surpasses the market capitalizations of major corporations including Visa, JPMorgan Chase, and Samsung.
OpenAI recently introduced GPT-5.4. The company’s API infrastructure maintains continuous growth, processing billions of tokens per minute across both enterprise and consumer applications.
