The Kimi developer has confidentially filed for a Hong Kong IPO seeking around $3 billion at a ~$50 billion valuation (Bloomberg later reported it may seek up to $5 billion this year). Reports say the CSRC required Moonshot to unwind its offshore VIE structure before filing; ARR reportedly tripled to $300 million between March and June 2026.
