According to Bloomberg, the transaction would occur before a potential IPO (Initial Public Offering), allowing current and former employees to sell shares worth several billion dollars. Current OpenAI shareholders, including Thrive Capital, are in talks to participate in the employee share sale.

The company's potential IPO is still being considered on a speculative basis, but a share sale, implying a company valuation of approximately $500 billion, is one of the factors preceding a potential public listing. As a reminder, earlier this year, the company announced its first round of financing, led by Japan's SoftBank, with a valuation approaching $300 billion.
