SHE STRESSED THAT "IPO IS NOT THE CURRENT AGENDA" AND THAT THE FOCUS OF THE COMPANY IS NOW ON SCALING UP AND ENHANCING OPERATIONAL CAPACITY RATHER THAN CAPITAL MARKET FINANCE。
It was previously reported that OpenAI was preparing for possible listing in late 2026 or in 2027, with an estimate of up to $1 trillion. However, Friar's latest statement indicates that the company has not included IPO in its immediate strategy。
According to the report, at the end of October, OpenAI completed a major structural adjustment to convert the profit-making sector into a pro bono company (Public Benefit Corporation) and reached an agreement with Microsoft to value approximately $500 billion。
The new architecture gives the company greater freedom of operation while remaining under the control of the non-profit parent company OpenAI Foundation. The Foundation holds 26% shares and is entitled to additional shares when a particular milestone is reached。
In addition, OpenAI is increasing its data centre input and has signed multi-billion-dollar cooperation agreements with technology giants such as Google and Amazon。
Friar states that the company is seeking the support of the United States Government to reduce the cost of financing the AI chip. She noted that “guarantees from government or financial institutions can significantly reduce financing costs and increase the value of loans”。
