According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is in discussions with a number of UAE funds, including MGX in Abu Dhabi, to form a consortium to participate in a new round of financing of at least 30 billion US dollars, of which the UAE's total investment limit is about 10 billion US dollars. BlackRock is also negotiating to enter the market at the same time. The current round was priced at about $1.4 trillion before the investment. No lead investors were set up, and prices were made to potential investors using a fixed valuation; the University of California Endowment Fund, old shareholder Thrive Capital, and Anderson Horowitz are all on the additional investment communication list. Since OpenAI is focusing on reorganizing AI security and governance, the launch has been postponed until after next year, and private equity has become its main channel to replace the open market. Capital from the Middle East region is one of the important sources of capital raised by leading American AI companies. The Abu Dhabi MGX agency raised nearly 50 billion US dollars around 2026, dedicated to AI infrastructure and technology layout. It also appeared on the list of investors in model companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI, and tied data centers and power resources to BlackRock, Microsoft, and Nvidia through platforms such as AI Infrastructure Partners.
