OpenAI Funding Round Expected to Surpass $100 Billion

Multiple high-credibility outlets report that OpenAI’s upcoming round is expected to exceed $100 billion. Bloomberg reports the round is on track to top $100B and cites major investors (e.g., Microsoft, VCs, sovereign wealth funds). The Information independently reports initial commitments for a mega-round that could surpass $100B, including a large potential check from SoftBank. These are well-regarded, independently sourced stories that directly address the expectation in the claim. Additional coverage (Bloomberg social post, TipRanks, Binance News, an X post) largely amplifies the same expectation without adding primary confirmation; they neither contradict nor weaken the core reporting, though they carry less evidentiary weight. There are no credible contradictory reports among the provided sources. While there is no official company statement or filing yet—so final amounts could change—the statement concerns an expectation, not a completed raise. Given the corroborated reporting from top-tier outlets, it is highly likely that the market expectation is indeed for OpenAI to raise over $100 billion in its upcoming round.
