By 2030, OpenAI's expenses will rise to $600 billion, and its annual revenue will increase to $280 billion.

OpenAI remains a private startup and is not required to disclose financial reports

Despite the fact that many large technology companies participate in funding OpenAI initiatives, the company itself still operates as a private startup and is not subject to public disclosure of its figures. According to unverified sources, it plans to invest $600 million by 2030, and annual revenue should rise to $280 million.

Revenue forecasts
Bloomberg indicates that the company expects revenue growth from subscriptions and advertising. In 2024, revenue (adjusted to current year) was about $6 million, and in 2025 it will already exceed $20 million. New forecasts have become a catalyst for launching the next funding round.

Infrastructure investments
Earlier OpenAI stated that it plans to spend about $1.4 trillion on AI infrastructure development over the coming years. The company has now clarified the figure – $600 million by 2030. In 2025, revenue reached $13 million, exceeding expectations of $10 million. Capital expenditures were $8 million, and projected expenses were $9 million. According to the plan, by the end of the decade annual revenue could reach $280 million, roughly evenly split between consumer and corporate segments.

Model training costs
OpenAI’s spending on AI model training quadrupled in 2025, leading to a margin decline from 40% to 33% compared with 2024 (according to The Information).

Revising the partnership with Nvidia
Nvidia changed its collaboration terms: instead of long‑term financing, it will now use a phased approach. This year the company may transfer about $30 million to OpenAI, but most of those funds will go toward purchasing Nvidia equipment for AI infrastructure.
