OpenAI

OpenAI's annualized revenue run rate surpassed $40 billion in August 2026, roughly doubling from where it stood at the end of 2025, Bloomberg reported August 13 citing people familiar with the matter. President Greg Brockman told employees the run rate grew more than 20% month over month in July, driven by ChatGPT subscriptions, coding tools and an early-stage advertising business, as the company works toward a planned stock market listing after filing confidential IPO paperwork.
