OpenAI’s possible bid to raise up to $100 billion and position for a $1 trillion IPO matters to investors right now because such a move could rapidly reprice the entire AI sector and create immediate private-market liquidity or dilution. ABenzinga reportoutlines these early talks and strategic investments being explored, signaling a potential capital flood that would reshape tech allocations.
