OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate reportedly nears $70 billion, roughly 75% above the $40 billion level covered in August, though the private metric is not audited full-year revenue.

OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate has reportedly approached $70 billion after its enterprise revenue more than doubled since July, according to sources familiar with the company’s private financials.

That reported pace was more than 70% higher than at the start of the third quarter in July. The reporting also said OpenAI added more consumer revenue during the quarter than it added during all of 2025, but did not disclose the underlying figures.

Compared with the run rate above $40 billion that DataPhoenix covered in August, the new figure is nearly $30 billion higher and roughly 75% above the earlier reference point.

An annualized run rate extrapolates a recent revenue period to show what a full year would look like if that pace continued. As with other annualized run-rate figures, it is not the same as revenue recognized or collected over a completed year. If the recent pace slows, the run rate can overstate the amount actually recorded across 12 months.

The nearly $70 billion figure has not been disclosed in an audited filing or confirmed in an attributable public statement from OpenAI. The recent period used for the annualization was not disclosed. OpenAI’s expenses were also unavailable, so the reported revenue pace does not establish profitability or cash generation.
