<p>SoftBank has approved a second installment of $22.5 billion for OpenAI, completing its <a href="https://coincu.com/news/softbank-openai-funding-delays/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">planned</a> $30 billion investment. The board’s decision supports the funding on condition that OpenAI finishes its restructuring process this year.</p>
<p>This step brings SoftBank closer to finalizing its role in a broader $41 billion financing round announced earlier in April. The approval signals continued commitment, although it still depends on OpenAI shifting to a for-profit structure.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-restructuring-tied-to-public-offering-plans-strong"><strong>Restructuring Tied to Public Offering Plans</strong></h2>
<p>OpenAI must complete a corporate restructuring designed to enable a future public listing before receiving the remaining funds. The investment terms include a clause that lowers the total to $20 billion if the restructuring fails.</p>
<p>SoftBank initially agreed to invest $10 billion in April, followed by an additional $30 billion in December under specific terms. The current $22.5 billion is part of that second portion, approved as OpenAI progresses toward structural changes.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="strong-investor-reactions-and-market-performance-strong"><strong>Investor Reactions and Market Performance</strong></h2>
