Numbers that stop the scroll: investors reportedly approached OpenAI with an offer to invest at a $1.2 trillion valuation.
OpenAI's answer: not enough. They believe they're worth at least $1.5 trillion.
Let that sink in. The gap between those two numbers is $300 billion, roughly enough to buy Netflix and McDonald's combined, just as a rounding difference.
This isn't arrogance. It's a company betting big on itself, riding massive ChatGPT demand and locking in enormous Compute and infrastructure deals that make today's number look conservative tomorrow.
Think of it like a homeowner turning down a solid offer because they know the neighborhood is about to boom.
OpenAI is choosing to wait for the boom.
The real question everyone's asking: can the market actually justify a valuation that size for a company still burning cash? We're about to find out.
