Some payments under the agreement will occur in the later years. Initially, Microsoft was entitled to 20% of OpenAI’s revenue until 2030, the Information reported on Wednesday. ## **Strategic Partnership With PBC Formation** Last October, Microsoft unveiled a new phase in its partnership with OpenAI. As part of the updated agreement, Microsoft will support OpenAI’s creation of a public benefit corporation (PBC), securing a 27% stake in OpenAI Group PBC, valued at approximately $135 billion. The deal preserves the partnership’s key elements, including Microsoft’s exclusive IP rights and Azure API exclusivity until an independent panel verifies Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). ## **OpenAI’s Expansion And Funding Round** In addition to the new partnership terms, OpenAI is seeking up to $40 billion in funding from key suppliers, including **Nvidia Corp** (NASDAQ:NVDA), **Amazon.com Inc** (NASDAQ:AMZN), and Microsoft, to support its expansion, particularly data center capacity. The company is also in talks with **SoftBank Group Corp** (OTC:SFTBY) (OTC:SFTBF) and Middle Eastern investors to secure further funding. This funding round, aimed at helping OpenAI scale its operations, will likely close in the first quarter of 2026. **MSFT Price Action:** Microsoft shares were up 1.14% at $401.44 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro. _Image: Shutterstock_ ### Related Stocks - [OpenAI (OpenAI.NA)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/OpenAI.NA.md) - [Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFT.US.md) - [Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/CLOU.US.md) - [Kurv Yield Premium Str Microsoft ETF (MSFY.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFY.US.md) - [State StreetSPDRS&PSftwr&SvcsETF (XSW.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XSW.US.md) - [iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sect ETF (IGV.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IGV.US.md) - [YieldMax MSFT Option Income Strategy ETF (MSFO.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFO.US.md) - [T-Rex 2X Long Microsoft Daily Target ETF (MSFX.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFX.US.md) - [iShares Global Tech ETF (IXN.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/IXN.US.md) - [GraniteShares 2x Long MSFT Daily ETF (MSFL.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFL.US.md) - [Direxion Daily MSFT Bull 2X Shares (MSFU.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFU.US.md) - [Direxion Daily MSFT Bear 1X ETF (MSFD.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/MSFD.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [Microsoft released 3 new AI models, ramping up competition with its close partner, OpenAI](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281638046.md) - [Microsoft Challenges OpenAI With Faster, In-House 'MAI' Models](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281555368.md) - [Microsoft is sitting on a 'treasure chest' that could help lift the stock 20%](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281393638.md) - [Spinnaker Investment Group LLC Sells 9,263 Shares of Microsoft Corporation $MSFT](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281334447.md) - [Microsoft takes on AI rivals with three new foundational models](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281556605.md)
