OpenAI raises $8.3 billion, valuation reaches $300 billion

OpenAI just raised $8.3 billion led by Dragoneer, bringing the total funding this year to over $10.8 billion. The funding round was oversubscribed by 5 times, bringing the company closer to its $40 billion target before the end of the year.

OpenAI currently holds over 70% of the LLM market share, has 1 million paying users, and is expected to achieve revenue of $12.7 billion by 2025. However, the company does not expect positive cash flow before 2029.

Meanwhile, AI blockchain projects such as Nous (on Solana) and Poseidon are also attracting significant investment, contributing to a total crypto investment exceeding $10 billion in Q2 2025.
