Still private, no round since 2022: OpenSea has not filed for an IPO, is not owned by a listed company, and has announced no funding round or tender since January 2022. Since then it has cut more than half its workforce and, in 2025, rebuilt itself as a multi-chain token and NFT trading venue (The Block, Oct 2025). The planned SEA token is issued by the separate OpenSea Foundation; it is not OpenSea equity and is not counted here.

Methodology & status definitions

How each row is labelled and calculated.

Closed round

A round announced by OpenSea, bringing new money to the company.

Valuation ÷ run-rate

Post-money valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). OpenSea stated no run-rate with a round, so no multiple is shown.

What is not a separate row

Seed funding before 2021, investor fund marks, the SEA token (OpenSea Foundation, not equity), token valuations or prediction-market prices, and secondary-market share prices.
