OpenAI proposal could hand $42.6 billion in AI equity to U.S. government
OpenAI has reportedly offered the U.S. government a 5% stake, which at the company’s latest $852 billion valuation would value the holding at $42.6 billion. That potential piece would be bigger than most recent direct government stakes in U.S. companies and could be key for IPO buyers to watch. OpenAI in March said it closed $122 billion in committed capital.
