The government taking equity in AI companies and distributing dividends to the public, this script feels a bit familiar, doesn't it? The IPO timing for OpenAI and Anthropic is quite delicately poised.

CryptoWorld News reports, citing Reuters and digital news outlet Notus, that three informed sources say senior U.S. officials have held preliminary talks with major artificial intelligence (AI) companies to explore the possibility of government stakes in these firms. Although the related plans are still in development and specific details remain uncertain, the core discussion revolves around encouraging these companies to voluntarily cede some shares to the government. The report notes that the resulting investment returns could be used for public purposes, such as distributing dividends to all households in the United States. Currently, AI giants OpenAI and Anthropic are preparing for highly anticipated IPOs.
