近日，美国社交媒体平台Reddit提交了首次公开募股（IPO）申请，文件显示，OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼已成为Reddit的最大股东之一。奥特曼通过其关联实体持有Reddit约8.7%的流通股，包括789456股A类股和1140万股B类股。这一消息引起了业界的广泛关注，因为奥特曼不仅是OpenAI的CEO，也是一位资深的投资者。
奥特曼与Reddit的渊源可以追溯到2014年，当时他领投了Reddit的5000万美元B轮融资，并在一篇博客文章中表达了他对Reddit的深厚感情，称自己九年来每天都在使用这个平台。2021年，Reddit进行了E轮融资，奥特曼再次投资了5000万美元。随后，在2021年下半年，他又向Reddit追加了1000万美元的投资。
奥特曼的投资行为不仅显示了他对Reddit的长期看好，也反映了他对社交媒体行业的信心。Reddit作为一个拥有庞大用户基础的平台，其未来的发展潜力备受期待。随着IPO的推进，Reddit有望获得更多的资本支持，以进一步扩大其业务规模和市场影响力。

英文新闻内容：
Reddit, the American social media platform, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO), revealing that Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, has become one of its largest shareholders. Altman, through entities associated with him, holds approximately 8.7% of Reddit’s outstanding shares, comprising 789,456 Class A shares and 11.4 million Class B shares. This development has attracted significant attention in the industry, given Altman’s dual role as the CEO of OpenAI and a seasoned investor.
Altman’s connection with Reddit dates back to 2014 when he led the company’s $50 million Series B funding round and expressed his long-term commitment to the platform in a blog post, noting that he had been using Reddit every day for nine years. In 2021, Reddit underwent its Series E funding round, in which Altman invested an additional $50 million. Later that same year, he further invested $10 million in Reddit.
Altman’s investment actions underscore his long-term optimism for Reddit and reflect his confidence in the social media industry. As Reddit moves forward with its IPO, it is expected to receive more capital support, allowing it to expand its business scale and market influence.
