[The Dark Side of the Moon Seeks New $2 Billion Financing Round, Valuation May Soar to $30 Billion] BlockBeats News, June 8, according to Bloomberg, Moonshot AI is seeking a new financing round of up to $2 billion, which could push the valuation of this startup to $30 billion. This marks its third funding round in six months as it strives to keep pace with the increasingly fierce AI competition in China. The company, which developed the Kimi chatbot, has already had preliminary discussions with potential investors and plans to raise over $1 billion, according to sources familiar with the matter. These discussions come as Moonshot AI is about to complete a funding round led by Meituan, which will bring the company’s valuation to $20 billion upon completion. If Moonshot ultimately achieves its latest financing goal, its valuation will have grown approximately sevenfold from the $4 billion level it surpassed in December of this year.
