Beijing AI startup Moonshot AI is currently in the early stages of considering a public listing in Hong Kong, aiming to leverage investors' heightened enthusiasm for AI concept stocks to raise funds.

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Moonshot AI has approached CICC and Goldman Sachs regarding a potential IPO. The timeline for the listing is not yet determined, discussions are ongoing, and a listing may not ultimately take place.

Meanwhile, Moonshot AI is seeking to complete a new round of private market financing of up to $1 billion. Bloomberg previously reported that this round would value the company at about $18 billion.

In January, the company upgraded its flagship Kimi AI model, launching the K2.5 version, which supports simultaneous processing of text, images, and video in a single prompt, and features the AI agent product Kimi Claw.

The AI Listing Boom in Hong Kong is Heating Up

According to Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, Moonshot AI has approached CICC and Goldman Sachs regarding underwriting matters.

The Hong Kong stock market is attracting increasing attention from Chinese AI companies. Zhipu and MiniMax successfully listed in Hong Kong in January, with share prices surging thereafter and both valued at about $40 billion, setting examples for successors.

Beijing's policy stance also provides important support. The city continues to express support for domestic leaders in AI, robotics and other fields. DeepSeek, Unitree, and Moonshot AI are all included under policy support, with their models among the top-performing large models in China.

Private Financing Continues, Valuation Around $18 Billion

While pursuing a potential IPO, Moonshot AI is actively expanding its private financing channels. Bloomberg previously reported that the company completed a financing round of over $700 million earlier this year and is now negotiating for up to an additional $1 billion, corresponding to a valuation of about $18 billion.

Moonshot AI was founded by former Tsinghua University professor Yang Zhilin. Its current shareholders include Alibaba Group, Tencent Holdings, and 5Y Capital.

Currently, the company has not disclosed any formal listing timetable.
