SoftBank said the liquidation was aimed at raising capital for further investments in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, as the firm seeks to increase its exposure to artificial intelligence technologies.
The 13-F filing compares SoftBank’s holdings as of December 31, 2025, with those reported on September 30, 2025. These quarterly disclosures, required within 45 days of the end of each fiscal quarter, reflect institutional investor positions as of the reporting date but do not capture any subsequent trades that may have occurred in the first quarter of 2026.
The move underscores SoftBank’s strategic pivot toward AI-focused investments, signaling confidence in the long-term potential of OpenAI amid ongoing shifts in the technology sector.
