Đầu tư của Microsoft vào OpenAI vượt mục tiêu lợi nhuận 92 tỷ USD, định giá 1,35 nghìn tỷ USD

The AIMPACT message states that, according to Microsoft’s early planning documents disclosed in court on May 12 (UTC+8), Microsoft set a return target of $92 billion for its initial large-scale investment in OpenAI. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella confirmed this target on Monday while testifying at the U.S. Federal Court in Oakland, California, in the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI and Microsoft. Nadella stated that these investments “worked well because we took the risk” and expressed being “very proud” of the collaboration between both parties. By early 2023, Microsoft had cumulatively invested approximately $13 billion in OpenAI. As OpenAI’s valuation surged significantly thereafter, reaching over $850 billion by the end of March this year, the value of Microsoft’s stake in OpenAI has now reached approximately $135 billion—far exceeding the original $92 billion return target. As part of OpenAI’s restructuring last year, Microsoft acquired a 27% ownership stake in the company. (Source: BlockBeats)
