Resolution criteria

Resolves Yes if shares of OpenAI, or a successor entity whose primary business is OpenAI's AI business, begin public trading through an initial public offering on a regulated stock exchange by 31 December 2026 at 23:59 UTC. Otherwise, resolves No.

Background

OpenAI announced on 8 June 2026 that it had confidentially submitted a draft Form S-1 registration statement for a proposed initial public offering. OpenAI said it had not decided on the timing and that going public could take a while because some work may be easier to complete while it remains private.

Fine print

A confidential or public registration statement, announcement, roadshow, indication of interest, IPO pricing, or allocation of shares does not count unless public exchange trading begins by the deadline. Private secondary-market transactions, employee share sales, fund interests that provide indirect exposure to OpenAI, an acquisition by another company, a direct listing, or a SPAC transaction do not count. Trading counts once the exchange records the first public trade, even if trading is subsequently halted.
