OpenAI is considering filing with securities regulators as early as the second half of 2026.
This was reported by Reuters sources.
In previous discussions, the company had considered raising at least $60 billion, and possibly more. But the sources noted that the talks are in the early stages and the plans — including the numbers and timing — could change depending on business growth and market conditions.
According to sources, Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar has told some colleagues that the company is targeting a listing in 2027. However, some advisors predict that this could happen earlier - as early as the end of 2026.
“An IPO is not our priority, so we couldn’t set a date,” an OpenAI spokesperson said. “We are building a sustainable business and advancing our mission to make the benefits of AGI accessible to everyone.”
Recall that this spring , OpenAI began negotiations with its main strategic investor, Microsoft Corporation , regarding changes in the structure of cooperation in order to begin the path to going public.
Recently, both companies announced changes to the terms of their cooperation, allowing OpenAI to raise significantly larger amounts of funding than previously allowed, for example, to prepare for an IPO.
