OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said the company might go public within the next year, fuelling more talk about a possible IPO for the maker of ChatGPT.
This comes soon after OpenAI quietly filed an S-1 registration with U.S. regulators and as President Donald Trump puts more attention on AI policy. Some reports say OpenAI could aim for a $1 trillion valuation, making it one of the most anticipated tech IPOs.
Reports say Altman told staff that an IPO could happen within a year, but the timing depends on the market and the company’s own priorities.
He also said that filing early gives OpenAI more options. The company can move forward if the market looks good or wait if staying private is better.
Interest from investors has grown as reports suggest OpenAI could seek a valuation close to $1 trillion. The company is also reportedly planning a tender offer for current shares, with recent prices around $687 each.
The timing stands out because Trump has recently shown more support for the AI industry. He has suggested meeting with top AI leaders and talked about ways to make sure the public benefits from AI companies.
The competition in AI is getting stronger. OpenAI’s rival Anthropic has also reportedly filed for an IPO, and investors are keeping an eye on the expected SpaceX public offering.
If OpenAI does go public, it could be one of the biggest tech IPOs in recent years and make the competition among top AI companies even fiercer.
OpenAI IPO speculation is heating up.
CEO Sam Altman has reportedly hinted that OpenAI could go public within the next year after confidentially filing an S-1 draft with the SEC.
