Shares of SoftBank Group soared to an all-time high of 14,825 yen on Tuesday, pushing its market value to $146 billion. This represents a cumulative year-to-date increase of approximately 75%, a remarkable feat largely attributed to Masayoshi Son's substantial investment in OpenAI. Despite incurring a staggering $22 billion loss in Vision Fund 2, the meteoric rise in OpenAI's valuation has significantly turned the tide for SoftBank. Masayoshi Son's daring wager on OpenAI has undeniably paid off, enabling SoftBank to navigate the precipice of crisis and emerge stronger.
