OpenAI Group PBC is the operating company of OpenAI, the San Francisco artificial intelligence lab founded in December 2015 by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman and others. It develops and sells the GPT family of large language models and the products built on them: ChatGPT for consumers and businesses, the developer API, the Codex coding agent, the DALL-E image model and the Whisper speech recognition system. It took its present form on 28 October 2025, when a restructuring blessed by the Delaware and California attorneys general converted the capped profit arm into a Delaware public benefit corporation and turned the original nonprofit into the OpenAI Foundation. A public benefit corporation must weigh its stated mission alongside shareholder returns, and the Foundation appoints and removes the PBC's directors, so charter control sits with the nonprofit while the PBC raises capital and makes acquisitions on ordinary corporate terms. Revenue reached about $13.1 billion in 2025.

OpenAI Group PBC files nothing with the SEC, so none of this comes from a filer record. The description was written for this site in August 2026 from Built In: OpenAI's Shift to a Public Benefit Corporation, Explained, Wikipedia: OpenAI and CNBC: OpenAI completes restructure, solidifying Microsoft as a major shareholder. The ownership figures below come from the holders' filings instead, and are sourced row by row.
The disclosed stakes
One row per position. Where a holder reports the same company in two share classes, both rows are shown rather than summed, because the class is part of a position's identity.
Where each figure comes from
A private stake has no ownership form behind it, so the source is always the holder's own filing or disclosure. Anything modelled says so, with the arithmetic.
- Amazon.com, Inc., as of 30 Jun 2026. Carrying value on the balance sheet at 30 Jun 2026, held at cost with adjustments for observable price changes. No upward remeasurement had been taken on the OpenAI position at that date, so carrying value equals cash deployed. source
- Microsoft, as of 30 Jun 2026. Microsoft discloses no share count and no separate carrying value for the OpenAI position. It discloses total funding commitments of $13.0 billion related to the investment, of which $11.9 billion was funded as of 30 June 2026, and total equity method investments across all investees of $12.0 billion at 30 June 2026 (up from $6.0 billion at 30 June 2025). The OpenAI carrying value is therefore bounded above by $12.0 billion but is not separately stated, so value_usd is left null rather than guessed. sourcesource 2
What this page is not
It is not a complete register. It lists the holders who happen to be inside the researched set and disclosed the stake themselves. A private company can have many other shareholders, and nothing here rules them out: venture investors, founders and employees usually appear in no public filing at all. Percentages are of OpenAI Group PBC where a holder stated one, and are missing where no holder did.
