OpenAI aims to secure $100 Billion in latest funding round, reportedly aiming for an $800 billion valuation — Parties offering up cash include Nvidia, Microsoft, SoftBank, and more
What happened
OpenAI is reportedly seeking $100B in funding from a consortium including NVIDIA, Microsoft, and SoftBank, targeting an $850B valuation to support its $1.4T expenditure plan. This reflects the continued circular investment strategy where capital providers (like NVIDIA) also supply critical infrastructure (chips, cloud). 利多: This massive capital infusion signals sustained, long-term demand for AI chips and data center infrastructure from a key end-user, though the direct price impact is deferred.
