SoftBank pushes for a full $10 billion loan against its OpenAI stake
SoftBank has reopened talks with Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Mizuho for a $10 billion margin loan against its OpenAI stake, this time offering a personal repayment guarantee to win lenders over. The renewed push comes as OpenAI's IPO timeline slips toward 2027, the same year SoftBank must repay a separate $40 billion bridge loan tied to the same investment.
