🦈 $OPENAI LOCKS $852B VALUATION WITH $70B INTERNAL BUYBACK — NO IPO ANYTIME SOON 💰
$70 billion. That is the size of OpenAI's internal tender offer — and it was funded entirely from company cash, not external capital. The valuation lands at $852 billion, identical to the March round. When a firm absorbs $70B of employee shares at a frozen mark, it is telling you one thing: patience. 🦈
The June confidential IPO filing exists, but the smoke signals point the other way. April reports revealed missed internal revenue and user targets — the exact scenario underwriting banks dread before a debut. Sam Altman's own admission that the last 12 months "wasn't the company's best period" reinforces the pause. 💡
Buying back billions in paper equity is a time-buying maneuver. It keeps talent liquid without public-market scrutiny, while Anthropic reportedly overtakes OpenAI in private valuation with profitability in sight. 📊 Are you reading this as a delayed IPO — or a signal that the AI private market is topping out? 💬
