Reports from CNBC, Bloomberg and TechCrunch on October 22 and 23, 2026 say investors from the United Arab Emirates and the firm Coatue are leading the round. The money is positioned as a bridge before a possible stock market listing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>1. The reported numbers\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>CNBC reports OpenAI is nearing a round of up to $30 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation, excluding the new capital. Bloomberg cites the same figure, describing a shift of $150 billion down from the earlier $1.4 trillion target. The company told investors on Thursday that it aims to secure signatures by the end of next week, but the final size of the round is still being determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>2. Why the valuation dropped\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>The Financial Times obtained internal documents showing OpenAI originally pitched investors a $1.4 trillion valuation. According to the FT, demand was weaker than in previous rounds, with some backers experiencing "indigestion" after heavy investments in earlier fundraises. The final terms could still change because negotiations are not finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>3. A bridge before the IPO\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>OpenAI confidentially filed its IPO prospectus with the SEC in June 2026, but has not set a date. CFO Sarah Friar told employees in August that the company "will be a public company in 2027." CEO Sam Altman said in September that "right now would be an ill-advised moment to go public." This private round is positioned as a stopgap before that listing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>4. Money and compute\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Beyond capital, CNBC reports OpenAI is negotiating a commercial deal to secure more computing capacity from the UAE. OpenAI told investors in February that it targets roughly $600 billion in total compute spend by 2030. That explains why UAE state investors were given a leading role in this round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>5. The race with Anthropic\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Anthropic, OpenAI's main rival, is also preparing a large IPO. CNBC reports Anthropic is seeking a valuation between $1.5 and $2 trillion for its listing and has been meeting prospective investors. Anthropic confidentially filed its paperwork in June 2026 as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2>What it means for you\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>This round shows big money is still flowing into AI companies, even as valuations get cut and public markets grow uneasy about the technology. For everyday users in Malaysia, nothing changes immediately in the products you use today. The date to watch is 2027, when OpenAI and Anthropic are both expected to go public, because that will shape pricing pressure and product direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Col>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Subscriptions likely hold for now:\u003C\u002Fstrong> with $30 billion in fresh capital, OpenAI has room to keep subsidizing compute without raising prices right away.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>The 2027 IPO is the key date:\u003C\u002Fstrong> OpenAI's own CFO said the company will be public in 2027, so follow that story next year.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Do not make investment decisions from headlines:\u003C\u002Fstrong> this valuation is still a private negotiation, not a market price.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Competition gives you options:\u003C\u002Fstrong> Anthropic is rising with a high valuation too, so one company will not control the AI assistant market alone.\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Fol>\n\u003Ch2>Sources\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cnbc.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F22\u002Fopenai-funding-round-uae-investors.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenAI nears up to $30 billion funding round at $1.25 trillion valuation\u003C\u002Fa> (CNBC)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftechcrunch.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F22\u002Fopenai-working-on-new-30b-raise-at-1-25t-valuation-ahead-of-ipo\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenAI working on new $30B raise at $1.25T valuation ahead of IPO\u003C\u002Fa> (TechCrunch)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fthe-decoder.com\u002Fopenai-lowers-valuation-target-raises-up-to-30-billion\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OpenAI lowers valuation target, raises up to $30 billion\u003C\u002Fa> (The Decoder)\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Ful>\n",1793543302162]
