In initial discussions, the company is considering a minimum fundraising amount of $60 billion, but the actual amount could be higher. Negotiations are still in the early stages, and the plans (including specific figures and timelines) may change depending on business growth and market conditions. The sources also said that Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar has told some colleagues that the company plans to go public in 2027.PANews reported on October 30th that, according to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter said OpenAI is paving the way for an initial public offering (IPO) that could value the company at up to approximately $1 trillion, potentially making it one of the largest IPOs in history.
