OpenAI Raises Historic $110 Billion From Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank

Historic $110 Billion Funding Round

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on February 27, 2026 via X: "We have raised a $110 billion round of funding from Amazon, NVIDIA, and SoftBank. We are grateful for the support from our partners, and have a lot of work to do to bring you the tools you deserve."

Investment Breakdown

The round features three major strategic investors: Amazon committed the largest share at $50 billion — the largest investment Amazon has ever made in a single company — while NVIDIA and SoftBank each contributed $30 billion.

$840 Billion Valuation

The funding boosts OpenAI's pre-money valuation to $730 billion and post-investment valuation to $840 billion, a significant jump from its $500 billion valuation in a secondary financing round in October 2025.

Strategic Partnerships

As part of the Amazon partnership, OpenAI plans to develop a new stateful runtime environment where OpenAI models will run on Amazon Bedrock. The existing $38 billion AWS partnership will expand by $100 billion over the next eight years, with AWS serving as the exclusive third-party cloud provider for OpenAI's enterprise platform Frontier. NVIDIA collaboration deepens further with OpenAI securing 3 gigawatts of dedicated inference capacity and 2 gigawatts of training on Vera Rubin systems.

Altman stated the company is "entering a new phase where frontier AI moves from research into daily use at global scale," with "leadership defined by who can scale infrastructure fast enough to meet demand."
