Confidential request by OpenAI in the United States places ChatGPT, Claude, and SpaceX at the center of a billion-dollar race for the stock market.
OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, filed a confidential request this Monday, 8, for its IPO in the United States, according to information from Reuters.
The company has not yet disclosed the size or terms of the offer. Even so, the valuation could reach US$ 1 trillion, if the plans advance until the expected debut in September.
The move places the owner of ChatGPT at the center of a billion-dollar dispute. Anthropic and SpaceX are also advancing plans to enter the stock market.

Leak reveals that Xiaomi’s new phone, the Redmi K100 Pro, may feature the same processor as the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 from Qualcomm. The device may also come with a battery of over 8,000 mAh, a 200 MP camera, and a display with a refresh rate of 185 Hz.
Confidential request opens a new phase for OpenAI
The IPO represents the first public offering of a company’s shares. In this process, investors begin to trade the company’s shares directly in the financial market.
OpenAI now follows Anthropic, creator of the artificial intelligence assistant Claude. The rival filed its own confidential IPO request on Monday, 1st.
SpaceX, founded by Elon Musk, has also joined this race. The company set the price of US$ 135 per share for its offer and will be listed starting Friday, 12th.
Analysts point to this sequence of offers as an important test. The market wants to gauge investors’ appetite for high-growth technology stocks.
Trillion-dollar valuation increases expectations in the technology sector
OpenAI has not officially disclosed the financial details of the offer. However, Reuters reported that the company is aiming for a valuation of up to US$ 1 trillion.
This potential value reinforces the weight of artificial intelligence as a central investment destination this decade. The debut would also consolidate a new phase for generative AI companies.
The request comes after OpenAI renegotiated its partnership with Microsoft, one of its first investors. Since 2019, the investments total $13 billion.
This investment helped accelerate OpenAI and also boosted the growth of Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing service.
Amazon, Google, Nvidia, and SoftBank appear on OpenAI’s radar
The renegotiation with Microsoft opened up space for potential agreements with Amazon and Google. This change broadens OpenAI’s strategic margin in the global market.
In February, the company reported raising $110 billion, with a valuation of $840 billion. The round was supported by SoftBank, Amazon, and Nvidia.
At the same time, OpenAI stated that ChatGPT had more than 900 million active weekly users. The company also recorded more than 50 million consumer subscribers.
In March, the company declared a monthly revenue of $2 billion. OpenAI also claimed to grow about four times more than Alphabet and Meta.
Competition grows and pressures ChatGPT’s leadership
The artificial intelligence industry has become more competitive at an accelerated pace. In this scenario, Anthropic gained strength with Claude among developers.
The assistant has strong demand in programming tasks. Some companies also use the advanced model Mythos to identify vulnerabilities in codes.
A few weeks before the IPO request, Anthropic raised $65 billion. The round valued the company at $965 billion.
SpaceX attempts to make its debut a historic milestone
SpaceX seeks to raise $75 billion with its public stock offering. The operation considers a market valuation of $1.75 trillion.
This value could lead the company to the largest IPO in history. The race intensifies the competition among giants linked to technology, innovation, and artificial intelligence.
Bankers also warn of a side effect. Offers of this magnitude can absorb capital that would be directed to smaller operations.
Dispute between Sam Altman and Elon Musk lost legal strength
OpenAI was founded in 2015 as a non-profit organization focused on research. In 2019, the company created a for-profit division.
The change aimed to finance the high costs of development in artificial intelligence. In 2023, the structure came under scrutiny after the brief removal of CEO Sam Altman.
Altman returned days later, following employee backlash. In December 2024, OpenAI revealed plans to create a public benefit corporation.
The proposal received criticism from Elon Musk, one of the company’s early supporters. Musk sued OpenAI and accused executives of diverting the organization’s original mission.
In May, a U.S. jury ruled against Musk. Thus, according to analysts, the verdict removed a significant legal obstacle for the IPO.
The potential debut of OpenAI on the stock market leaves a central question for investors: can artificial intelligence still sustain trillion-dollar valuations in the global market?
