OpenAI Completes $7 Billion Employee Stock Buyback
A $7 billion stock buyback allows OpenAI staff to liquidate shares at an $852 billion valuation. This follows a similar $6.6 billion sale in October 2025. The company provides immediate liquidity to employees while avoiding a formal IPO. This internal tender offer stabilizes the workforce during a period of rapid scaling and high valuation volatility.
