The ChatGPT-maker expects to earn $12.7 billion in revenue this year, Bloomberg reported, which would be a massive jump from the $3.7 billion in annual revenue it raked in last year (The New York Times previously reported that OpenAI expected to earn $11.6 billion this year). It also expects to bring in $29.4 billion in revenue next year. This new revenue projection comes just months after the startup launched a $200 a month tier.
OpenAI reportedly has internally projected that its revenue will more than triple in 2025, reaching $12.7 billion, up from $3.7 billion in 2024. According to a report by Bloomberg, this anticipated growth is attributed to the expanding adoption of OpenAI’s artificial intelligence products and services, including various subscription offerings for both consumers and businesses.
Notably, the Sam Altman-lead company had informed in February 2025 that it had surpassed 2 million paying business users, doubling its enterprise customer base since September 2024.
However, despite this expanding customer base and projected revenue growth, the Microsoft-backed AI trendsetter does not expect to become cash-flow positive until 2029. This is primarily because the development and deployment of advanced AI systems involve huge costs, including investments in specialized hardware, data centers, etc. These expenses currently outpace the company’s revenue, leading to ongoing financial losses.
Additionally, Microsoft is no longer OpenAI’s exclusive cloud provider, allowing OpenAI to explore other options like Oracle. In fact, recently OpenAI entered into a five-year, $11.9 billion agreement with CoreWeave. Under this partnership, the ChatGPT maker will have access to CoreWeave’s advanced cloud computing infrastructure, which is essential for training and deploying large-scale AI models.

From hardware to applications, data, security, compliance, and more – IT teams are responsible for a lot. And if that wasn’t enough, you’re also responsible for ensuring business operations run smoothly and securely without impeding employee productivity.
Like IT teams, employees are focused on getting their jobs done. Sometimes this means they circumvent security policies to complete a task and unknowingly introduce information security risks. But keeping your team productive and secure doesn’t have to be a “one or the other” option.
