Bitget launches preOPAI token for OpenAI pre-IPO access

Bitget launches preOPAI, a Solana-based token tracking OpenAI’s potential IPO. With $100 minimum, users gain early exposure and flexible trading, expanding AI pre-IPO access beyond institutions.

Bitget has introduced the preOPAI token on its IPO Prime platform, granting users early, tokenized exposure to OpenAI’s potential future public offering. Developed on the Solana blockchain in partnership with Republic, preOPAI is structured to reflect OpenAI’s economic performance post-IPO, without conferring direct equity ownership. The minimum participation amount is $100, making pre-IPO investment opportunities more accessible to a wider audience. The subscription window runs from May 12 to May 15, 2026, with allocations and spot trading starting on May 15. A total of 29,082 tokens are available, valued at $21.08 million, with each token priced at $725. Token distribution will occur in three phases: 30% on May 15, 30% on June 15, and 40% on July 15. Around six months after a potential IPO, holders can redeem tokens for stock-linked assets or USDT. This initiative aligns with growing global interest in artificial intelligence, as Bitget aims to democratize pre-IPO investment, traditionally reserved for institutional investors.
