OpenAI Projects Massive Revenue Growth, Targeting $280 Billion by 2030
According to the Economic Desk of Webangah News Agency, internal planning documents suggest that OpenAI is on track to generate approximately $280 billion in annual revenue by the year 2030. This aggressive projection underscores the accelerating sales momentum for the artificial intelligence company’s subscription offerings targeted at both general users and commercial enterprises.
OpenAI has also recently initiated limited advertising trials for select users, signaling a strategy to cultivate an additional significant revenue stream beyond its current service fees. This financial acceleration follows a period of intense growth; the company’s Chief Financial Officer, Sara Friar, previously disclosed that the firm’s annual revenue had already surpassed $20 billion in 2025, a substantial increase from roughly $6 billion the preceding year.
Like other major players in the rapidly evolving artificial intelligence sector, OpenAI faces enormous operating costs associated with acquiring specialized chips, maintaining data centers, and retaining expert personnel. To offset these substantial expenditures, the company is intensely focused on converting more organizations and individuals into paying customers for its AI services.
The company has outlined ambitious capital deployment plans, having previously stated intentions to spend over $1.4 trillion on AI infrastructure in the coming years. Furthermore, internal communications to investors reveal a plan to commit approximately $600 billion in new investments by 2030.
Adding to the news of projected revenue milestones, reports from Bloomberg indicate that OpenAI is nearing the finalization of the first phase of a new financing round. This funding initiative is expected to secure over $100 billion in capital, potentially pushing the company’s total valuation beyond $850 billion upon completion.
