OpenAI is undertaking an offering with a phenomenal market cap and massive fundraising. 💵 The tech world is buzzing following OpenAI's latest investment round - which boosted the company's valuation to an astonishing $852 billion, one of the highest valuations ever seen in the private market. 💵

This is a historic move that included raising $122 billion - led by tech giants:

📱 Amazon, which invested $50 billion.

🕹 Nvidia with $30 billion.

🏦 SoftBank added another $30 billion to the investment package.

Beyond the impressive fundraising figures - the company is showing phenomenal growth in its current revenue with monthly income reaching $2 billion. 📊

Additionally, the annual revenue run rate has already crossed the $24 billion mark. 🪧

Currently, the business sector accounts for about 40% of OpenAI's total revenue. 📱

However, the company is very optimistic and expects this share to grow and reach 50% by the end of the current year. 🪧

Here are some key figures on the company's operations and growth:

📈 The advertising sector, recently launched as a pilot - is surprisingly positive.

It recorded estimated revenues of $100 million in just 6 weeks. 🪙

This shows enormous potential for creating new revenue streams beyond subscriptions! 📊

The number of weekly active users on ChatGPT is rapidly approaching 900 million people. 📱

But what's no less impressive is the ability to convert them into paying subscribers... 🫴

The number of paid subscribers has exceeded the 50 million mark. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
