Gold points are valuations as headlines reported them — a round, a tender offer or talks — dated and linked below; forecasts and comparisons are left out. The dashed line is Wook’s model, not a price: from each report it moves the reported figure with the equal-weighted return of $NVDA, $MSFT, $GOOGL, $META, $AMZN since that day, and resets at the next report. It shows what the same valuation would be worth had it moved with listed peers — not what anyone has paid.

Questions

Is OpenAI publicly traded?

No. OpenAI has no shares of its own listed on a public exchange, so there is no ticker to buy through a brokerage account.

Can you buy OpenAI stock?

Not on an exchange. OpenAI shares change hands privately — in funding rounds, employee tender offers and on secondary-market platforms that are generally limited to accredited investors. Be wary of anyone offering “pre-IPO shares” directly: the SEC has charged private funds with defrauding retail investors who bought into them.

What is OpenAI worth?

The most recent valuation Wook has seen reported was $1.25 trillion (CNBC, Oct 22, 2026). Reported valuations come from funding rounds and share sales, not from a market price, and can be out of date quickly.

What is the OpenAI private-market estimate?

Nasdaq lists a “Company Level” estimate for OpenAI under the symbol OPEAZZX; the latest is $759.22. It is an estimate drawn from private-market activity, not a price at which shares can be bought on an exchange.

What happens to OpenAI shares at an IPO?

At an initial public offering the company lists its shares on an exchange, after which they trade freely at a market price. Until then, any price is set privately between buyers and sellers.
