OpenAI, developer of ChatGPT, announced on June 8 that it had secretly registered for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. In an effort to attract investors looking to profit from the AI boom, the company will join Anthropic in making inroads into the stock market. According to OpenAI, a date is still up in the air, and the company has chosen not to reveal the offering's size or terms. A representative from the company stated that they are considering staying private for the time being in order to pursue some of their goals.
According to a news source, the AI juggernaut is aiming for a valuation of up to $1 trillion when it debuts on the public market, which may happen as soon as September. At that valuation, OpenAI would pave the way for the quick debut of three firms with a valuation of one trillion dollars. In the past decade, investors' enthusiasm for high-growth tech firms has been tested more than ever before by OpeAI and Anthropic together.
IPO Getting Popular Among AI Players
Anthropic and OpenAI's initial public offerings (IPOs) would set the tone for a decade of revolutionary change in the tech industry and worldwide markets, with AI quickly becoming the investing theme of choice. A group of formidable investors, including Nvidia, SoftBank, and Amazon, raised $110 billion for OpenAI earlier this year, valuing the company at $840 billion. Additionally, it is that ChatGPT has over 50 million users and over 900 million active users every week.
By renegotiating its collaboration with Microsoft—one of its initial investors—OpenAI was able to form new partnerships with companies like Amazon.com and Alphabet's Google, which led to the IPO filing. March saw OpenAI announce $2 billion in monthly income and almost four times the growth rate of internet and mobile age giants like Alphabet and Meta. This is in contrast to the quarter-ending 2024 revenue of around $1 billion. According to media reports, OpenAI informed investors during its most recent financing round that it will be profitable in 2030 at the earliest.

Anthropic Vs OpenAI Battle Continues
The demand for Anthropic's Claude AI among software developers has skyrocketed, making it one of the most formidable competitors. Some companies are using its top-tier model Mythos to find security flaws in their code, and Claude helps AI developers with their computer programming. Although the US IPO market could benefit from the blockbuster offers, some bankers are concerned that they could divert funds from smaller ventures. OpenAI was established in 2015 as a non-profit organisation that prioritised research.
Four years later, in order to address the growing expenses associated with the development of artificial intelligence systems, the organisation established a for-profit subsidiary. During the late 2023 period, when CEO Sam Altman was temporarily removed and then reinstated following an employee revolt, the odd structure that granted the charity power over the for-profit corporation was subject to harsh criticism. With the goal of raising significantly more funds while reducing constraints imposed by its nonprofit parent, OpenAI revealed plans to reorganise itself in December 2024 by forming a public benefit company.
