Summary
- OpenAI closed a record $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation on March 31, 2026, anchored by Amazon (a $50B commitment), Nvidia and SoftBank.
- On June 8, 2026, it filed confidentially for an IPO targeting a valuation above $1 trillion — with reports of a $1.75–2 trillion+ range and up to $75B raised.
