美国社交媒体平台Reddit近日向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提交了首次公开募股（IPO）申请，这一消息引发了广泛关注。据SEC文件披露，知名人工智能公司OpenAI的首席执行官萨姆·奥特曼已成为Reddit的重要股东之一，持有公司8.7%的流通股。奥特曼的持股结构包括789,456股A类股和11,400,000股B类股，彰显了他在Reddit公司的显著地位。
据了解，奥特曼对Reddit的长期兴趣和投资始于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，自己是Reddit的忠实用户，九年如一日地使用该平台。2021年，Reddit的E轮融资中，奥特曼再次投资5000万美元，显示出他对公司前景的坚定信心。同年下半年，他又追加投资1000万美元，进一步巩固了他在Reddit的股东地位。
奥特曼的持续投资和Reddit的IPO申请，暗示了这家以“版块”（Subreddit）闻名的社交平台正步入一个新的发展阶段。随着Reddit准备登陆公开市场，奥特曼的影响力和他在科技与媒体界的双重背景，可能会为Reddit的未来发展注入新的活力和战略视角。
