Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Mizuho declined to comment.<\/div><div>The funding is part \u2060of SoftBank\u2019s efforts to finance its ambitious artificial intelligence investment strategy, the people said. The financing, known as a margin loan, acts like a line \u200bof credit.<\/div><div>Initially, SoftBank asked for the loan to be backed solely by its stake in the ChatGPT maker, but banks pushed back because they would have \u200bno claim on SoftBank beyond the shares if the collateral lost value, the people added. Under that structure, SoftBank would not have been obligated to repay the debt.<\/div><div>The talks highlight lenders&#8217; greater caution toward loans backed by stakes in privately held companies, whose valuations are harder to assess and whose shares are more difficult \u200bto sell than publicly traded stock.<\/div><div>Reuters was unable to determine whether lenders also have specific concerns about OpenAI\u2019s valuation. The valuation of major \u200bAI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic has ballooned in the past years amid intensifying competition for leadership in artificial intelligence.<\/div><div>SoftBank has become one of the \u200cworld&#8217;s biggest \u2060backers of OpenAI under founder Masayoshi Son&#8217;s push to make the Japanese conglomerate a dominant investor in artificial intelligence. It has committed more than $60 billion to OpenAI and related AI infrastructure projects, including the Stargate data center venture announced alongside OpenAI and Oracle last year.<\/div><div>SoftBank has relied heavily on debt and asset-backed financing to fund those investments.<\/div><div>In recent months, the company has explored several financing options tied to its investment portfolio. Last year, it sought to \u200braise a $5 billion margin loan backed \u200bby shares in chip designer \u2060Arm Holdings, whose stock has surged amid investor enthusiasm for AI.<\/div><div>Unlike the OpenAI financing, the Arm loan was backed by shares in a publicly traded company, making the collateral easier for lenders to value and \u200bliquidate if necessary.<\/div><div>SoftBank had previously sought to raise at least $10 billion through a margin loan backed \u200bby its OpenAI stake \u2060before reducing the target to about $6 billion, after encountering hesitation from lenders, Bloomberg News reported earlier.<\/div><div>OpenAI confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering in June, which could ultimately make SoftBank&#8217;s stake easier for lenders to value and eventually liquidate.<\/div><div>SoftBank also faces a March 2027 deadline to repay a $40 billion bridge loan \u2060that helped \u200bto finance its OpenAI investment. SoftBank has said that borrowing would likely be \u200brepaid \u201cthrough the utilization of existing assets and other financing measures.\u201d<\/div><div>SoftBank&#8217;s Son has accelerated the company&#8217;s spending on AI this year, making investments spanning data centers, semiconductors and robotics as he seeks to \u200bposition the conglomerate at the center of the industry&#8217;s rapid expansion.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" alt=\"Echo Wang\" class=\"wp-image-710\" src=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/9601c2e7688d5373c2d47866f9afc8c9.avif\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/noscript><\/div><div>Echo Wang<\/div><\/div><div><ul><li><span><div><svg><title>Email<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>X<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><li><span><div><svg><title>Linkedin<\/title><\/svg><\/div><\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/address><\/div><\/div><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3471\">Iran warns of immediate response to any threat, cites US commitment to restrain Israel<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3469\">Rebel Catholic group ordains bishops in Switzerland, defying Pope Leo<\/a><\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/reliablemovingcrews.com\/?p=3467\">After Venezuela quakes, citizens lead rescues amid military theft accusations<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SoftBank Group has \u200breopened talks with a consortium of lenders for a $10 billion loan backed by its stake in OpenAI, after earlier attempts \u200cto secure a loan stalled over concerns about the difficulty of valuing private companies, two people familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[112,95],"class_list":["post-3473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-capital-markets","tag-finance"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
