OpenAI lands $11B at $1.25T valuation, already courting private investors for more
The Decoder · rss · 2026-11-07
OpenAI has secured $11 billion in fresh capital — the first tranche of a round valuing the company at $1.25 trillion, with the full round potentially swelling to $20 billion.
Notably, OpenAI is already turning to wealthy private investors for additional capital, which The Decoder reads as a sign of a saturating AI capital market and growing investor caution.
