The Trump administration’s technology portfolio may be about to get significantly larger.
According to the Financial Times, OpenAI has discussed granting the U.S. government a 5% equity stake in the ChatGPT maker as part of broader talks aimed at ensuring Americans share in the financial gains from artificial intelligence.
At OpenAI’s latest reported valuation of roughly $852 billion, that stake would be worth just over $42 billion. The proposal remains in its early stages, and no agreement has been reached.
If the proposal materializes, it would add one of the world’s most valuable AI companies to a growing list of strategic investments backed by the Trump administration.
