SoftBank Group’s board has approved a second installment amounting to US$22.5 billion to complete its US$30 billion investment commitment in OpenAI, according to a report.

With major backers such as SoftBank signalling confidence, the IPO path for OpenAI appears increasingly likely. Analysts say the development may accelerate other public-market exits in the AI sector and fuel further investor interest in high-growth infrastructure plays.
