The tender offer valued OpenAI at $852 billion, unchanged from the valuation it secured during its massive funding round earlier this year. CNBC confirmed the roughly $7 billion transaction Monday. The tender offer has been in development since OpenAI completed a record $122 billion funding round in March, which valued the company at $852 billion. A year earlier, OpenAI employees were given the opportunity to sell about $1.5 billion of shares to SoftBank through another tender offer. The $852 billion valuation is about 70% higher than the $500 billion valuation attached to the October 2025 share sale.
