Altman's 'Within the Next Year' Hedge Pins OpenAI IPO Odds at 48.5%
Sam Altman's June 10 internal message that OpenAI could list 'within the next year' has the Dec-31 IPO contract at 48.5% Thursday, a 24.5-point overnight collapse from Wednesday's 73% open.
The OpenAI Dec-31 IPO contract (as covered Wednesday) trades at 48.5% as of 01:39 UTC Thursday — down 24.5 points from Wednesday's 73% open. Sam Altman told staff the company could go public "within the next year," language that stretches the implied deadline well past December and erased the Dec-31-specific conviction that had held the contract at 0.765 through most of Wednesday morning.
