Stargate LLM Token Presale Offers Retail Investors Stake in AI Platform

ai-technology · 2026-07-03

Stargate LLM, an AI platform that provides chat, image, and video generation alongside private search capabilities, has initiated a token presale, enabling retail investors to acquire a share in the venture. This presale is divided into five phases, with the initial phase set at $0.0005 per token, representing a 50x discount from the eventual launch price of $0.025. The overall token supply is capped at 150 billion, with just 1% designated for the team. This approach differs from leading AI firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, which have secured billions in private investments without public equity options. OpenAI achieved a valuation of $300 billion after raising $40 billion in March 2025, while Anthropic's revenue run rate hit $30 billion in April 2026, and the company confidentially filed for an IPO at a $965 billion valuation following a $30 billion Series G in February 2026. Token holders of Stargate LLM can benefit from rewards through Proof of Usage, vault staking, and DAO-governed voting on revenue allocation. The presale is currently live, with prices set to rise as batches are sold.
