SoftBank invested more than $30 billion in the ChatGPT-maker in 2025, bringing its ownership to around 11%, and is in talks to invest an additional up to $30 billion in the U.S. firm's latest funding round, Reuters reported last month. Due to its heavy exposure to OpenAI, the Japanese investment firm is increasingly seen as a publicly traded proxy for the U.S. firm, with growing concentration risk and worries over the potential impact on its financial position, analysts said.
