  • SoftBank's $40B unsecured loan hints at OpenAI IPO in 2026
    March 27, 2026, 5:59 PM EDT. SoftBank has secured a $40 billion unsecured loan with a one-year term to support its $30 billion commitment to OpenAI's record-breaking $110 billion funding round. The loan, backed by JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, and four Japanese banks, must be repaid or refinanced by next year. This timeline aligns with market speculation, including CNBC reports, suggesting OpenAI's highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) could occur in 2026. If OpenAI goes public as expected, SoftBank would gain the liquidity needed to cover this debt promptly. With the new investment, SoftBank's total stake in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, surpasses $60 billion.
