The figure comes from Korrun's subsidiary investing 2.9bn yuan into a fund with a 0.8265% indirect stake in the AI lab. This inferred valuation sits above the $45bn figure floated in May and aligns with DeepSeek's June funding round near $50bn backed by Tencent and CATL. The company is also reportedly weighing a further raise at $71–74bn ahead of a planned IPO on Shanghai's STAR Market, potentially as early as 2027. The disclosure highlights how China's listed-company reporting rules can surface valuations that the AI lab itself has never officially confirmed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
