  • OpenAI to Reserve IPO Shares for Retail Investors, CFO Says
    April 8, 2026, 7:24 PM EDT. OpenAI plans to allocate a portion of its upcoming initial public offering (IPO) shares to retail investors, CFO Sarah Friar told CNBC. The AI company, known for developing ChatGPT, is preparing for a U.S. stock market debut potentially valued at up to $1 trillion, with filings expected as soon as the second half of 2026. OpenAI raised over $3 billion from individual investors in its latest funding round, exceeding initial targets. Traditionally, retail investors receive 5% to 10% of IPO shares, but OpenAI's move signals a shift towards broader individual participation. This trend mirrors SpaceX's plan to allocate up to 30% of its IPO shares to retail investors. OpenAI's CFO emphasized that acting like a public company is part of good corporate practice ahead of the listing.
