Altman says OpenAI is unlikely to IPO in 2025 as the company prioritizes AI safety
Sam Altman signaled OpenAI is unlikely to pursue an IPO this year, citing AI safety and control risks, despite a confidential June filing with timing still open. Parallel public-market preparations at Anthropic underscore investor demand for frontier AI exposure but also highlight heightened regulatory and reputational overhangs. The near-term effect is to temper near-IPO positioning in AI-linked equities while keeping valuation expectations elevated amid limited public supply.

OpenAI is unlikely to go public in 2025 as it focuses on addressing safety concerns around artificial intelligence, CEO Sam Altman said. He called 2025 an “ill-advised moment” for an IPO and suggested a listing is more likely in 2026, according to Fortune. Separately, OpenAI and rival Anthropic have been preparing for potential stock market debuts, though neither has listed shares yet. Anthropic is aiming for a valuation of as much as $1 trillion in an IPO, Reuters reported.
