The AI rounds just keep getting bigger and bigger.
OpenAI announced Friday that it has closed on a staggering $110 billion fundraise at an $840 billion post-money valuation. The financing marks the largest raise ever, according to Crunchbase data.
The money comes from three sources, with SoftBank and Nvidia each ponying up $30 billion. Amazon is contributing the biggest share, with a $50 billion investment. However, OpenAI says additional investors are expected to join as the round progresses.
The next-largest raise ever, per Crunchbase, was also raised by OpenAI in a $40 billion funding round in 2025. The third-largest was raised by rival Anthropic — a $30 billion Series G haul at a $380 billion post-money valuation that was announced on Feb. 12.
The new valuation for OpenAI increases the value of the OpenAI Foundation’s stake in OpenAI group to over $180 billion, according to the company.
Subscriber growth
The company says it’s also inked a strategic partnership with Amazon and “secured next generation inference compute” with Nvidia as part of an expansion of its partnership with the chip giant.
OpenAI claims that it now has more than 900 million weekly active users and over 50 million consumer subscribers. Subscriber momentum has picked up significantly so far in 2026, according to CEO and co-founder Sam Altman, with January and February on track to be the company’s largest months for new subscribers in its history.
“We are entering a new phase where frontier AI moves from research into daily use at global scale,” he wrote in a blog post. “Leadership will be defined by who can scale infrastructure fast enough to meet demand, and turn that capacity into products people rely on. This funding and these partnerships let us do both.”
