According to reports, OpenAI has pushed its annualized revenue run rate past $40 billion. That pace roughly doubles the figure the company recorded at the end of 2025. The number strengthens the case for a public listing.
Yet it arrives during a wave of senior departures at the top of the company. Three engines account for most of the growth. ChatGPT subscriptions keep expanding, AI coding software has scaled fast, and a young advertising business now adds to the total.
President Greg Brockman told staff that revenue climbed more than 20% month over month in July. Similarly, an earlier internal update showed July alone outpaced the entire second quarter. Pricing changes helped as well.
OpenAI cut prices for customers in July as businesses grew more cost conscious. Rather than dent revenue, cheaper access pulled in more enterprise demand. Demand for AI agents adds a third leg.
Codex handles software work, while ChatGPT Work targets office teams. Both products push customers toward higher paying tiers. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar had previously placed the 2025 exit figure above $20 billion.
Management now wants enterprise customers to supply half of all revenue by the end of this year. OpenAI declined to comment on the latest numbers. The $40 billion run rate is based on a Bloomberg report, which cites people familiar with the matter.
