OpenAI has warrants valued at $5.5 billion, as the company seeks an IPO and expands its ties to SB Energy's data center projects. SB Energy, backed by SoftBank, filed for a Nasdaq IPO with a target of $5 billion to $7 billion in proceeds. OpenAI holds roughly 4 million of these warrants, which will vest in stages, with 1.73 million expected to vest upon IPO closure.
SB Energy has also committed to purchasing at least $50 million in OpenAI software and services through 2028. Meanwhile, OpenAI has secured significant computing capacity through leases at SB Energy's planned Ohio campus, backed by 10 gigawatts of power infrastructure. OpenAI's investment in SB Energy and SB Energy's commitments to OpenAI software and services highlight the interconnected nature of AI infrastructure development and the potential concentration risk for both parties.
