OpenAI is allowing employees to sell about $1.5 billion worth of stock in a new tender offer to SoftBank. The new financing will give SoftBank a larger stake in the company, while also enabling current and former employees of OpenAI to cash out their shares, people familiar with the matter said. The new tender offer, which is scheduled to end this week, is being pushed by SoftBank founder and CEO Masayoshi Son, who has been asking for a larger stake after investing $500 million in OpenAI's last round of funding. The tender offer is unrelated to OpenAI's plans to potentially restructure the company into a for-profit business.

However, this price behavior is natural during the price discovery phase, which typically involves cycles of increases, corrections, and consolidation to establish a stable price range. Observing supply distribution during the price discovery phase is crucial to revealing supply and demand areas that could influence Bitcoin’s trajectory.
