OpenAI announced that it has submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
SpaceX is planning to offer shares at $135 apiece to raise $75 billion in its initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter, as Elon Musk rejects another Wall Street convention by setting a fixed price ahead of the marketing phase of the deal. The rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company aims to sell 555.6 million shares in the offering, the people said. Deliberations are ongoing and details of the IPO could still change before the terms are disclosed as soon as Wednesday, or even during the marketing process, they said, asking not to be identified as the information isn't public. The move adds to the unconventional aspects of a deal that's set to be the biggest ever listing. We get reaction from George Ferguson, Senior Aerospace Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence.
Anthropic PBC pulled ahead of OpenAI with its confidential IPO filing Monday, as the free-spending artificial intelligence startups battle for a fundraising edge that's set to determine who will win the ultimate battle for computing power. The oneupmanship in the firms' private funding rounds, and now their progress toward going public, isn't just about bragging rights. The risk for both firms is that the first to tap the US market's unparalleled depth and liquidity will gain an immediate advantage in securing access to the chips, data centers and talent needed to build their AI models. With Elon Musk looking to turbocharge SpaceX's nascent AI offerings by strapping them to a hyperscaler with a chipmaker joint venture and doing an IPO, OpenAI and Anthropic can't risk falling behind. Bloomberg Intelligence's Matthew Bloxham takes a closer look.
Elon Musk's SpaceX is negotiating to pay razor-thin fees to Wall Street firms handling its IPO but banks are still likely to rake in about $500 million from the record-setting market debut. Musk's space and artificial-intelligence conglomerate is negotiating to pay less than 0.75% for the $75 billion it aims to drum up in an initial public offering this month, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Even at that low spread, it will likely amount to one of the biggest fee events ever for Wall Street firms that arrange public listings. The lead banks Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley are positioned to take in a bigger share of the fee pool than the other 21 brokers involved.
