OpenAI's annualized revenue has doubled to top $40 billion ahead of its IPO
The ChatGPT maker's run rate has roughly doubled since the end of 2025, driven by AI coding tools, subscriptions, and advertising
OpenAI's revenue has doubled to over $40 billion, according to insiders familiar with the company's financials. This substantial growth comes on the heels of a projected annualized revenue surpassing $40 billion, a significant increase from its end-2025 run rate. The surge in revenue can be attributed to OpenAI's expanding AI coding software, subscription sales, and nascent advertising ventures.
Despite stiff competition from Anthropic PBC, OpenAI remains focused on bolstering its foothold in the market. The company has recently appointed a new chief revenue officer to further stimulate sales growth. OpenAI's strategic moves, such as price reductions for certain models, have helped it remain competitive amid the rise of Chinese AI rivals.
