OpenAI has reportedly raised $11 billion so far in its pre-IPO private funding round at a $1.25 trillion valuation, according to Bloomberg sources (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06). The round has not closed and is expected to total roughly $20 billion in the coming weeks, short of the $30 billion target (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06). Earlier, the round was reported on 2026-10-22 as up to $30 billion at a $1.25 trillion pre-money valuation, led by Coatue and UAE investors per CNBC; an earlier Bloomberg report had cited $1.4 trillion. On 2026-10-31 the target was reported as cut to $20 billion after a lukewarm response from some large investors, with the round led by investors from the United Arab Emirates and a later retail offering for wealthy individuals potentially bringing the total to $20 billion. The first close was expected to fall below the target (Financial Times, via techcrunch.com). The Wall Street Journal had already reported $11 billion secured (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-31). Difficulties are tied partly to investor wariness over heavy AI infrastructure spending and a tech stock sell-off, and the latest article adds broader AI market jitters tied to the U.S. midterm results and negative voter sentiment toward data centers, raising the prospect of future regulatory pressure (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06). OpenAI filed confidential IPO paperwork in June, after a March raise valued it at $852 billion post-money. It had signalled a public listing this year before delaying it, and the IPO is now expected sometime next year (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06). Anthropic, which raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation in May and also filed confidentially in June, was reportedly seeking a $1.5 to $2 trillion valuation. Bloomberg now says potential buyers of shares in its IPO are weighing a valuation as low as $1.1 trillion, against the $2 trillion investors expected a month earlier (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06). This is business news with no direct cyber threat or defender action.
Relatos divergentes
- Round size: up to $30 billion (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-22, citing CNBC; the 2026-11-06 article says Bloomberg reported a $30 billion target in late September) versus a $20 billion target or expected total (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-31, citing FT and WSJ; techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06, citing Bloomberg). The later reports are more current.
- Valuation: $1.25 trillion pre-money (CNBC, via techcrunch.com) versus $1.4 trillion (earlier Bloomberg report, via techcrunch.com). The most recent report (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06, citing Bloomberg) gives $1.25 trillion for the round, so $1.4 trillion appears outdated; whether this figure is pre- or post-money is not specified there.
- Investor lead: Coatue plus UAE investors (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-22) versus UAE-led (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-31). The 2026-11-06 article names no lead.
- Amount secured: $11 billion attributed to the Wall Street Journal (techcrunch.com, 2026-10-31) and to Bloomberg (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06); the two are consistent.
- Anthropic valuation: seeking $1.5 to $2 trillion (earlier reporting) versus buyers weighing as low as $1.1 trillion versus $2 trillion expected a month earlier (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06, citing Bloomberg). The later report is more current.
- IPO timing: OpenAI had signalled a listing this year (techcrunch.com, 2026-11-06), which is now delayed to sometime next year.

OpenAI has reportedly raised $11 billion so far in a new funding round valuing the AI lab at $1.25 trillion, according to Bloomberg sources cited by TechCrunch. The round has not yet closed and is expected to total roughly $20 billion when it does in the coming weeks, short of the $30 billion target Bloomberg reported in late September. The report lands hours after Bloomberg said potential buyers of shares in the IPO of rival Anthropic are weighing a valuation as low as $1.1 trillion, against the $2 trillion investors expected a month earlier. OpenAI had signalled a public listing this year before delaying it, with an IPO now expected sometime next year. The article notes broader AI market jitters tied to the U.S. midterm results and negative voter sentiment toward data centers, raising the prospect of future regulatory pressure.

OpenAI reportedly cuts funding round target to $20 billion after tepid investor response
ler a análise desta fonte ocultar
OpenAI has reportedly lowered the target of its latest funding round to $20 billion, down from earlier reports of $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation and then at $1.25 trillion, ahead of a planned IPO. The Financial Times reported that the first close is expected to be even lower than the target. The round will be led by investors from the United Arab Emirates, with a later retail offering for wealthy individuals potentially bringing the total to $20 billion. The Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI has secured $11 billion so far and that some large investors responded "tepidly". The article ties the difficulties partly to investor wariness over heavy AI infrastructure spending and a tech stock sell-off, and notes that Anthropic's planned IPO could also face challenges. This is business news with no direct cyber threat or defender action.

OpenAI reportedly negotiating up to $30B raise at $1.25T pre-money valuation ahead of IPO
ler a análise desta fonte ocultar
OpenAI is reportedly working on a private funding round of up to $30 billion at a $1.25 trillion pre-money valuation, led by Coatue and investors in the UAE, according to sources cited by CNBC. An earlier Bloomberg report put the figure at $1.4 trillion, and terms are still under negotiation. The UAE funding may be paired with a deal to secure more computing capacity for OpenAI from the UAE. OpenAI filed confidential IPO paperwork in June, after its March raise valued it at $852 billion post-money. Anthropic, which raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation in May and also filed confidentially in June, is reportedly seeking a $1.5 to $2 trillion valuation for its public debut. This is business and funding news with no direct security threat.
