August 10, Fineko/abc.az. Japanese investment conglomerate SoftBank has secured a $10 billion margin loan using its existing equity stake in OpenAI as collateral to purchase additional shares in the AI pioneer.

The credit facility was arranged by a consortium led by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan at an interest rate of 7.88%. The value of the collateral pledged for the transaction is three times the total loan amount.

SoftBank plans to utilize the newly raised capital exclusively to further expand its shareholding in OpenAI.
