OpenAI anticipates that its revenue will rise quickly over the coming years and surpass $280 billion by 2030.

OpenAI’s robust momentum in selling subscriptions to businesses and consumers for its AI software is reflected in the revenue forecast. Additionally, OpenAI recently began testing targeted advertising, opening a new revenue stream for the business.

Sarah Friar, the chief financial officer of OpenAI, recently reported that the company’s yearly revenue in 2025 exceeded $20 billion, up from about $6 billion the year before. CNBC first reported the updated revenue projection.

Like its competitors, OpenAI is rushing to persuade more businesses and consumers to pay for its AI services to help defray the enormous cost of the chips, data centers, and personnel required to develop its technology.

In the past, OpenAI declared that it would invest over $1.4 trillion in AI infrastructure over the next several years. The business is now informing investors of its expenditure plans.

OpenAI is nearing completion of the first stage of a new funding round that is expected to generate over $100 billion. Including the potential funding, the company’s total valuation may surpass $850 billion.
