On March 31, 2026, local time, AI giant OpenAI officially announced the completion of its latest round of financing, raising a staggering $122 billion and pushing its post-money valuation to $852 billion, setting a new global record for AI company valuation and demonstrating investors’ strong confidence in the commercial prospects of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
This financing round broke Silicon Valley private equity records, led by institutions such as Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, with continued participation from long-term partners like Microsoft. It also opened subscriptions to individual investors for the first time, further broadening its shareholder structure. The substantial funds will primarily be used for computing power upgrades, model development, and talent recruitment, laying the foundation for its push towards AGI.
Revenue figures are equally impressive, confirming OpenAI’s strong commercialization capabilities. ChatGPT surpassed $1 billion in revenue within a year of its launch; by the end of 2024, it achieved $1 billion in quarterly revenue; and now monthly revenue has climbed to $2 billion, with growth rates far exceeding those of internet giants like Google and Meta.
From a non-profit laboratory to the world’s most valuable AI company, OpenAI has achieved a leapfrog development in seven years. Its breakthroughs in both revenue and financing have not only solidified its leading position in the industry but also pushed competition in the AI field to a new stage, indicating that generative AI is accelerating its shift from technological exploration to the realization of commercial value.
