OpenAI Staff to Sell $6B in Shares at $500B Valuation
OpenAI employees are preparing to sell up to $6 billion worth of shares in a tender offer led by SoftBank, Dragoneer, and Thrive Capital, valuing the company at $500 billion. The sale offers current and former staff the opportunity to cash out equity, as OpenAI remains privately held. The valuation reflects the company’s dominant position in artificial intelligence, following strong market reception of its GPT-4 and forthcoming GPT-5 models.
A $500B valuation underscores OpenAI’s central role in AI innovation and investor confidence in the sector’s future growth.
