The artificial intelligence firm OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is preparing for a major step that could reshape the global AI industry. The company is in early discussions to file for an initial public offering as soon as 2026, according to information shared in a recent report. If the listing goes ahead, OpenAI could be valued at around one trillion dollars which would make it one of the largest public offerings in the technology sector.
In its preliminary exploration, OpenAI has reportedly considered raising at least sixty billion dollars through the IPO. This capital will play a significant role in Sam Altman’s long term plan to build large scale AI computing infrastructure across the world. This includes expanding data centers and acquiring computing capacity that is essential to progress toward general artificial intelligence.
OpenAI recently completed a restructuring of its organisation to align itself more closely with a conventional corporate framework. This change is seen as an important move that places the company in a stronger position for a public market debut. The company originally began as a non profit but has since evolved into a major commercial player in the AI ecosystem.
In an employee share sale conducted earlier this week, OpenAI was valued at five hundred billion dollars. The company’s annual revenue run rate is expected to reach around twenty billion dollars by the end of the year. At the same time, as OpenAI continues to expand and scale its operations, its expenses have also increased significantly with reports indicating rising operational costs linked to advanced model development and computing demands.
The planned IPO is anticipated to be one of the largest public offerings in recent times in the technology landscape. The move also signals how rapidly artificial intelligence has become central to innovation and business transformation across industries worldwide.
