And if you’re one of the hundreds of millions of people using ChatGPT, this changes things — just not the way you’d expect. On June 8, 2026, OpenAI confirmed it had confidentially submitted an S-1 filing to the SEC. That’s the document every company needs before it can sell shares on a stock exchange. OpenAI’s valuation at last count: roughly $852 billion. Some analysts think it’ll aim for $1 trillion by the time it actually lists. ...
