Thursday, July 2, 2026
OpenAI proposed offering a 5% stake to the Trump administration, according to reporting by The Information. Trump stated in June that the U.S. taking an ownership stake in AI companies would be "a beautiful thing" and make the American public "partners in this revolution." The proposal comes as OpenAI faces regulatory scrutiny in Washington. No confirmation of whether the administration responded to or accepted the proposal has been reported.
