OpenAI Reportedly Seeks $30 Billion Funding Round as APAC Equity Issuance Jumps 53%

WuBlockchain’s WhiteLine Daily highlighted four funding and risk developments across the AI sector. Reuters, citing Anthropic’s IPO filing, said 47% of the company’s 2025 revenue came through Amazon and Google cloud marketplace channels, up from 32% in 2024 and 11% in 2023. Anthropic generated nearly $4.6 billion in total revenue in 2025, including about $3.8 billion tied to Claude usage, and paid roughly $351 million in channel fees. Around 60% of its $909 million in customer receivables at the end of 2025 was also collected through third-party cloud platforms. Bloomberg reported that OpenAI is in early talks to raise at least $30 billion at a target pre-money valuation of about $1.4 trillion, with the financing intended as bridge capital instead of a near-term IPO. Reuters had previously said OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate was approaching $70 billion, up more than 70% from early in the third quarter. Financial Times reported that Nvidia is discussing insurance protection for GPU-backed loans used by smaller cloud companies to buy its chips. Separately, Reuters, citing LSEG data, said Asia-Pacific equity financing reached $327.1 billion so far in 2026, up 53% year over year, with AI chips, data centers and power projects driving issuance.

Citi sees record global bond and equity issuance by South Korean companies in 2026

Citigroup expects South Korean companies to reach a record level of issuance in global bond and equity markets in 2026, as corporates tap international investors to fund growth. The most prominent example cited was SK Hynix’s $26.5 billion U.S. listing transaction. Jangho Park, chief executive of Citigroup Global Markets Korea, said the country has a growing group of world-class companies and emerging industry leaders that are making greater use of capital markets under competitive financing conditions to support expansion plans. Citi’s outlook comes as South Korea’s two major chipmakers are emerging as key beneficiaries of the global buildout in artificial intelligence infrastructure. The country is also seeking to drive companies including Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to invest at least 1,350 trillion won, or $975 billion, in chip and data center construction, though many of those projects remain at an early planning stage.
