Moonshot AI Raises Final Valuation Target to $50 Billion Ahead of Hong Kong IPO
Moonshot AI is preparing a final private funding round that could value the Chinese startup at up to $50 billion ahead of a planned Hong Kong listing, raising the previous financing target to $31.5 billion.
The higher valuation follows a surge in commercial performance, with daily sales running at least sixfold after the Kimi K3 model launch and annual recurring revenue reaching $300 million in June. The company has informed investors it could list on the Hong Kong exchange within six months.
