While the exact use of funds hasn&rsquo;t been disclosed, market consensus points to preparation for OpenAI&rsquo;s IPO. If realized, this would be the most anticipated tech IPO of 2026.</p> <p>The scale of this loan is staggering. At $40 billion, it more than doubles SoftBank&rsquo;s largest single tech investment over the past decade. More significantly, it&rsquo;s unsecured, indicating the banks&rsquo; strong confidence in SoftBank&rsquo;s and OpenAI&rsquo;s creditworthiness.</p>
