SoftBank's Masayoshi Son in Talks to Invest $25 Billion in OpenAI, Led by Sam Altman, Amid Stargate Project
Jan 30, 2025, 02:02 AM
SoftBank Group Corp. is in talks to invest up to $25 billion directly into OpenAI, a move that would position the Japanese conglomerate as the largest financial backer of the ChatGPT maker, surpassing Microsoft's stake. This potential investment comes in addition to SoftBank's commitment of over $15 billion to the Stargate project, a massive AI infrastructure initiative announced last week. The Stargate project, which aims to invest up to $500 billion over four years, involves OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX, and was highlighted by U.S. President Donald Trump. SoftBank's investment in OpenAI could cover the latter's $15 billion commitment to Stargate. The talks are part of SoftBank founder Masayoshi Son's strategy to deepen ties with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and advance his vision of achieving 'superintelligence.' OpenAI reached a $157 billion valuation last year.
