OpenAI\'s 17.5 percent return guarantee fuels debate over sustainability
OpenAI is pursuing a structure that guarantees private equity investors a 17.5 percent annual return, widening debate over whether it is sustainable. Some market figures warn the fixed return resembles past crypto projects such as Terra’s Anchor Protocol, which promised 19 to 20 percent before collapsing. Critics also cite OpenAI’s expected 2026 loss despite strong revenue growth. Others argue OpenAI has real customers and API-based revenue, unlike Terra.
