OpenAI's Annualized Revenue Passes $40 Billion, Roughly Doubling in a Year
In one line: According to Bloomberg, OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate has surpassed $40 billion, roughly double its 2025 level.
Key points
- Revenue run rate now exceeds $40 billion, about twice the 2025 figure.
- A run rate annualizes recent performance and differs from confirmed full-year revenue.
- Growth is attributed to expanding ChatGPT subscriptions and enterprise/API demand.
Why it matters
Doubling revenue in a single year signals that demand for generative AI is still climbing steeply. Yet with heavy compute and model-training costs attached, stronger revenue does not automatically translate into profitability.
