OpenAI has secured $122 billion in fresh funding at a post-money valuation of $852 billion, marking one of the largest capital raises in the history of the technology sector as it accelerates efforts to scale artificial intelligence globally.
The funding round was backed by a consortium of major global investors, including Amazon, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and Microsoft, alongside institutional players such as BlackRock, Sequoia Capital, and Fidelity. SoftBank co-led the round with venture firm Andreessen Horowitz.
The company said the capital will be used to expand its computing infrastructure, advance research, and scale its consumer and enterprise products amid surging global demand for AI systems.
OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT, reported rapid growth across both usage and revenue. The platform now has more than 900 million weekly active users and over 50 million paying subscribers. Revenue has climbed to approximately $2 billion per month, with enterprise customers accounting for more than 40% of total income.
The company said its latest model, GPT-5.4, is driving increased adoption across enterprise workflows, while its Codex coding agent now serves more than 2 million weekly users. API usage has also surged, processing over 15 billion tokens per minute.
OpenAI highlighted compute capacity as a central pillar of its strategy, noting that access to large-scale infrastructure enables more advanced models while lowering the cost of delivering AI services. The company has expanded partnerships across cloud providers including Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud, while continuing to rely heavily on NVIDIA GPUs.
The firm is also diversifying its hardware base, working with AMD, Cerebras, and developing its own chip in collaboration with Broadcom.
In addition, OpenAI expanded its revolving credit facility to $4.7 billion, supported by major global banks including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and HSBC, although the facility remains undrawn.
The company said it is building a unified “AI superapp” that integrates ChatGPT, browsing, coding, and agent-based tools into a single platform, aiming to simplify how users interact with AI across personal and professional tasks.
OpenAI said its rapid growth places it ahead of early trajectories seen in major internet and mobile companies, adding that AI adoption is increasingly driving productivity gains and reshaping business operations globally.
The company also opened part of the funding round to individual investors through bank channels, raising over $3 billion, and announced plans to be included in exchange-traded funds managed by ARK Invest.
“Moments like this do not come often,” the company said, describing the investment wave as foundational to building the infrastructure layer for the AI-driven economy.
