新浪财经讯，美国社交媒体平台Reddit于本周四正式提交了首次公开募股（IPO）申请，根据其提交的文件显示，OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼已经成为Reddit的最大股东之一。据文件披露，与奥特曼相关的实体持有Reddit约8.7%的流通股，其中包括789456股A类股和1140万股B类股。
奥特曼与Reddit的渊源可追溯至2014年，当时他领投了Reddit的5000万美元B轮融资。他在一篇博客文章中提到，自己自2005年以来每天都在使用Reddit，对该平台有着深厚的情感。2021年上半年，Reddit进行E轮融资时，奥特曼再次投资了5000万美元。随后，他在同年下半年又向Reddit追加投资了1000万美元。
Reddit的这一变化标志着其从一家私营公司转变为上市公司，这可能会对其业务模式和股东结构产生重大影响。奥特曼的这一投资举动，不仅显示了他对Reddit未来的信心，也可能对Reddit的运营策略和社区发展产生深远的影响。
Reddit的IPO申请文件的提交，标志着该公司向资本市场迈出了重要一步，同时也为投资者提供了更多了解该公司业务和增长潜力的机会。随着Reddit的上市，其与OpenAI的合作关系以及奥特曼的持续投资，可能会成为市场关注的焦点。

[Beijing, China] – Xinhua Finance News – The U.S. social media platform Reddit filed an initial public offering (IPO) application on Thursday, according to its submitted documents, which reveal that the CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, has become one of Reddit’s largest shareholders. The filings indicate that entities associated with Altman hold approximately 8.7% of Reddit’s outstanding shares, including 789,456 shares of Class A stock and 114,000,000 shares of Class B stock.
Altman’s connection with Reddit dates back to 2014, when he led a $50 million B round of funding for the platform. In a blog post, Altman mentioned that he has been using Reddit daily since 2005, showing a deep affection for the platform. In the first half of 2021, when Reddit conducted an E funding round, Altman invested an additional $5 million. Later in the same year, he further invested $1 million into Reddit.
This change marks Reddit’s transition from a private company to a publicly traded entity, which could have a significant impact on its business model and shareholder structure. Altman’s investment move not only demonstrates his confidence in Reddit’s future but also may have a profound impact on the company’s operational strategies and community development.
The submission of Reddit’s IPO application marks a significant step for the company in its move towards the capital market, providing investors with more opportunities to understand the company’s business and growth potential. As Reddit goes public, the partnership between Reddit and OpenAI, along with Altman’s continued investment, may become a focal point of market attention.
