OpenAI Revenue Run Rate Tops $40 Billion as IPO Nears

OpenAI is reportedly on pace to generate more than $40 billion in annualized revenue, roughly doubling its run rate from the end of 2025.

The figure, reported by Bloomberg, gives the ChatGPT maker fresh momentum as it prepares for a potential public listing. OpenAI confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in June, although the company has said the timing of an IPO has not been decided.

Enterprise AI Demand Keeps Climbing

According to Bloomberg-syndicated reporting, OpenAI’s recent revenue acceleration has been driven by growth in AI coding tools, subscription sales, enterprise products and a developing advertising business.

The company has also seen rising demand for AI agents, including Codex for software development and ChatGPT Work for business users. OpenAI previously said enterprise already accounted for more than 40% of revenue and was on track to reach parity with consumer revenue by the end of 2026.

For banks, payments firms and fintech companies, the reported run rate signals that enterprise demand for AI tools remains strong, even as infrastructure and model development costs stay high.

The update also comes as OpenAI strengthens its commercial leadership. The company has named Dali Rajic, previously president and chief operating officer at Wiz, as its new chief revenue officer, replacing Denise Dresser after less than a year.

For financial services buyers, the bigger takeaway is not just OpenAI’s growth. It is the speed at which AI vendors are turning usage into revenue across coding, workflow automation, enterprise deployment and advertising.

As OpenAI moves closer to public markets, investors and enterprise customers will be watching whether that growth can translate into durable margins, measurable business impact and scalable AI adoption.
