CoinJie.com news: According to the Financial Times, OpenAI is in talks with the U.S. government about a plan to sell a 5% stake. The artificial intelligence startup, which is valued at $852 billion, is seeking to clear political obstacles by obtaining fiscal support from the Trump administration. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that having the public hold shares in the company is the best way to share AI gains, and he raised a stake of this magnitude in early discussions with the government. The proposed plan would involve other U.S. AI companies selling similar stakes, but it is not yet clear whether other companies would be willing to do so. OpenAI and its main competitor, Anthropic, have recently postponed the release of their cutting-edge models due to U.S. government scrutiny, while some Republicans and Trump’s advisors are leaning toward implementing stricter regulation of the industry.
