OpenAI, the company that makes ChatGPT, is reportedly looking to raise another $30 billion from investors. Cointelegraph reported on Sep 29, 2026 that the raise could value the company at $1.4 trillion. The article was written by Sam Bourgi.
A valuation of that size would put OpenAI among the most valuable companies in the world while it is still private. The same report says OpenAI has pushed its long-awaited stock market listing into 2027.
Several things are still unknown. The article does not name the investors, the terms of the raise, or whether a deal has been agreed. It describes the numbers as reported, and OpenAI has not confirmed them.
For someone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, this changes nothing directly. The report says nothing about crypto markets, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on any of these exchanges. It is a story about a private company raising money, and none of the numbers in it apply to what a perpetual position costs to hold.
