OpenAI projects $400 billion revenue for 2026, doubling from 2025

According to Bloomberg, OpenAI is on track to reach annualized revenue exceeding $400 billion in 2026, representing approximately 100% growth compared to $200 billion in 2025 revenue. Internal reports indicate that July monthly growth exceeded 20%. The company is adjusting market and pricing strategies to compete with rivals like Anthropic, reducing prices on some AI models while strengthening enterprise sales efforts through the hiring of an experienced cybersecurity executive. Although Anthropic disclosed annualized revenue of $470 billion in May, analysts note that methodological differences between the two companies make direct comparison difficult.
