Two people familiar with the matter said the accelerated fundraising could total about $30 billion and value OpenAI above $1.4 trillion. One source said existing backers SoftBank and MGX are in talks to participate. OpenAI and SoftBank declined to comment; Anthropic and MGX did not immediately respond.
The report says the timetable partly reflects competition for overlapping investors and a desire to raise capital before Anthropic’s financial disclosures invite comparisons. It also cites infrastructure commitments and a possible delay to OpenAI’s planned 2027 listing as financing considerations. These are reported plans and rationales, not confirmed deal terms or a completed financing.
