OpenAI employees have collectively sold $6.6 billion worth of shares in a recent tender offer, with around 75 employees each selling up to $30 million in stock. This transaction occurred in October 2025, following a significant increase in OpenAI's valuation to $150 billion, nearly doubling from $86 billion earlier that year. The tender offer allowed employees to convert their equity into cash without waiting for an IPO, with a cap to prevent any single participant from selling a disproportionate amount.
The tender offer has sparked discussions about tokenized private equity, with Robinhood reportedly exploring tokenized shares linked to OpenAI. This could enable retail investors to access pre-IPO equity through blockchain-based instruments. Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's involvement with Worldcoin, a biometric identity project, continues, though the tender offer did not impact the WLD token price. OpenAI's recent launch of a $4 billion enterprise unit and partnerships in smart contract security highlight its ongoing expansion into AI and decentralized finance.
