OpenAI is on the verge of securing a historic $40 billion funding round led by SoftBank—nearly doubling its valuation to $300 billion and setting a new record for the largest private investment deal ever.


Key Highlights of the OpenAi Funding Round


  • SoftBank will contribute $7.5 billion upfront, with an additional $22.5 billion expected later this year, joined by investors including Magnetar Capital, Coatue, and Founders Fund.

  • OpenAI projects $12.7 billion in revenue for 2025, with expectations of becoming cash-flow positive by 2029 and reaching earnings exceeding $125 billion.

  • The company reported up to $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue for 2024, attributing the gap to significant investments in AI infrastructure and training.

  • Part of the funding will support Stargate, OpenAI’s $300 billion AI infrastructure initiative launched with SoftBank and Oracle in January.


Why This Is Important


This funding round cements OpenAI’s rapid transformation into a financial powerhouse, proving that the AI revolution is accelerating rather than slowing down. Amid increasing global competition, OpenAI remains at the forefront—shaping the future of AI and pushing the boundaries of innovation.
