OpenAI is planning its IPO for Q4 2026 and Bitget is already offering a way to get in before that happens. But is it worth it?

OpenAI just closed a $122B funding round at an $852B valuation and now reports are saying firms like Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley are already discussing the IPO side of things. They’re apparently targeting a $1T valuation eventually while expecting huge revenue growth over the next few years.

Now Bitget announced preOAI through IPO Prime. From what I understood, it’s not actual OpenAI equity but a Republic-issued token designed to mirror OpenAI’s stock price 1:1 after the IPO happens. Subscription opens May 12 at $725 per token and allocations are distributed in batches until July 2026.

I actually joined the previous IPO Prime one for SpaceX, the previous one they had. I made around 3% profit bcz I sold everything on the release day since I didn’t have much free capital at the time. Later I watched some people hold longer and apparently make close to 25% within less than a month, which honestly made this OpenAI one really intriguing to me too.

This one feels even bigger because of the scale behind OpenAI right now. A company reportedly targeting a trillion dollar IPO valuation, already doing massive revenue numbers, and sitting at the center of the entire AI race is a very different level of attention compared to most names entering Web3 discussions.

And from what i see, preOAI is apparently the only Republic-issued equity-backed token that can be verified onchain, designed to mirror OpenAI’s stock price 1:1 after IPO happens.

What are your thoughts about this? Any plan to participate?
