OpenAI Prepares for Record-Breaking IPO After ChatGPT Global Rise
OpenAI, the artificial intelligence powerhouse behind ChatGPT, is gearing up for a landmark initial public offering that could value the company at an unprecedented $1 trillion. The firm's valuation has skyrocketed from $29 billion in 2023, fueled by ChatGPT's staggering growth to over 800 million weekly users—making it the fastest-adopted application in digital history.
Microsoft stands to reap extraordinary gains from its 27% stake, potentially worth $270 billion in what may become one of tech's most lucrative investments. Revenue projections for 2025 approach $12 billion as OpenAI navigates the delicate balance between its mission-driven ethos and commercial expansion.
The company's trajectory mirrors crypto's most explosive bull runs, with user growth defying conventional benchmarks. ChatGPT achieved 100 million users within two months of its November 2022 launch—a feat that required years for platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Active users surged from 300 million to 400 million in early 2025 alone, demonstrating relentless momentum.
