# OpenAI Reportedly Seeking $30 Billion Funding at $1.4 Trillion Valuation

> Editorial content, written by CryptoResearch.

OpenAI is reportedly in the early stages of raising at least $30 billion, aiming for a $1.4 trillion valuation amid high investor demand.

OpenAI is reportedly looking to secure at least $30 billion in new funding. The potential raise would value the artificial intelligence company at approximately $1.4 trillion.

The fundraising process is currently in its early stages. According to people familiar with the matter, the move is being driven by investor demand.

If successful, the valuation would potentially place OpenAI above the latest private valuation of Anthropic. The company previously raised $122 billion in March, which included a valuation of $852 billion.

The additional capital comes as OpenAI continues to expand its AI agent products and premium subscription offerings. The company is also navigating increased scrutiny regarding AI safety.

OpenAI has delayed an initial public offering, with Altman stating that an IPO will not occur this year.
