Liquidity outlook for Scale AI
IPO uncertain. Meta's 49% stake limits independence; Founder Alexandr Wang moved to Meta as Chief AI Officer. Liquidity most likely via further Meta acquisition or tender offer.
As an option holder, you'll need to exercise your ISO/NSO to own shares. Strike price, exercise cost, and tax treatment (ISO vs NSO) all matter. Model carefully with a CPA.
Frequently asked questions
What is my Scale AI equity worth right now?↓
Scale AI's Strategic (Meta) (2025) valued the company at $29B. Secondary market data (Hiive, Forge, Caplight) gives a live read on implied valuation — PrivatePulse tracks this and updates every week. Gross value per option = (secondary share price − your strike price). Multiply by your vested count, then subtract taxes. The PrivatePulse calculator handles all of this automatically.
When will Scale AI go public or offer liquidity?↓
Scale AI is valued at $29.0B. An IPO is possible in the 2028–2030 timeframe, but the company is still in growth mode and has not indicated a public offering timeline. Secondary market platforms like Hiive and Forge may offer limited liquidity for accredited investors.
What is the Scale AI strike price for employee options?↓
Strike prices at Scale AI vary by grant year and cohort. Recent grants typically carry strikes in the $0–$50 range per share. Your grant agreement shows your exact 409A strike. With Scale AI now implying ~$29B, the intrinsic value per option is (current secondary price per share − your strike); enter your numbers in the PrivatePulse calculator to see the full picture including AMT and vesting schedule.
What's the difference between Scale AI ISOs and NSOs?↓
Scale AI typically grants a mix of Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) and Non-Qualified Stock Options (NSOs). ISOs: exercised spread is not taxed as income — instead it creates an AMT preference item. Long-term capital gains treatment is available if you hold shares 2 years from grant and 1 year from exercise. NSOs: exercised spread is ordinary income immediately — simpler but less tax-efficient. Both types require payment of the strike price to exercise. Use the PrivatePulse calculator to model the after-tax outcome under ISO vs NSO treatment at the current $29B implied valuation.
