On July 2, 2026, SoftBank Group resumed negotiations with a lending consortium including Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, and Mizuho Group regarding a $10 billion margin loan, planning to use its stake in OpenAI as collateral and committing for the first time to provide a full repayment guarantee by SoftBank. Previously, due to concerns from lending institutions over the valuation and liquidity of private company equity, the financing amount was once reduced to approximately $6 billion, and negotiations stalled. This time, SoftBank has introduced a guarantee mechanism, allowing banks to seek recourse from SoftBank if the value of OpenAI shares declines, thereby alleviating lenders' concerns. The financing will be used to support SoftBank's ongoing AI investment strategy.
