SoftBank is OpenAI's listed proxy.
SoftBank Group is the best liquid listed proxy for unlisted OpenAI. The speaker says SoftBank and OpenAI are effectively the same body. OpenAI's Astra model has reignited AGI enthusiasm, and OpenAI's enterprise/B2B revenue is growing strongly, reducing the bear case that OpenAI cannot make money. An eventual OpenAI IPO would create a funding cycle that supports data center spending and SoftBank shares. The speaker noted he expected a surge and SoftBank rose 11%.
