OpenAI Reportedly Floats a 5% U.S. Stake Amid Trump Administration Talks

First seen · 7/2/2026, 11:12 PMLatest activity · 7/2/2026, 11:12 PM

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is reportedly in early-stage talks with the Trump administration about giving the U.S. a 5 percent stake in the company. Financial Times sources say Altman has argued that public ownership would help share the financial upside of AI and address public opposition. President Trump reportedly favors the idea, while the administration has also discussed similar arrangements with other major AI firms, including Google and Meta. The structure, valuation, governance rights, and legal basis remain unclear.
