OpenAI Forecasts $278 Billion Cash Burn Through 2030 Amid Growth Plans
OpenAI projects a cash burn of $278 billion between 2026 and 2030 as it invests heavily in computing power and infrastructure to support AI development. The company expects revenue to grow from $36 billion in 2024 to $350 billion by 2030, with cumulative revenue reaching $840 billion by decade's end. OpenAI filed confidentially for an IPO in June but CEO Sam Altman stated it will not go public in 2026 due to AI safety concerns. The firm raised $122 billion in March but may exhaust this funding by 2028.
