OpenAI targets $1T IPO

OpenAI’s annualized revenue run rate has pushed past $40 billion, nearly doubling from late 2025 and giving Sam Altman a stronger case for a reported $1 trillion IPO valuation. The company also named Dali Rajic chief revenue officer as its business customer base surpassed 2 million, signaling that enterprise monetization, not only consumer chat usage, is driving the numbers. The looming IPO calculus matters beyond OpenAI: Microsoft’s stake, Nvidia’s accelerator demand and SoftBank’s 2027 $40 billion loan deadline all become tied to whether generative AI can sustain software-like margins at infrastructure-scale capital intensity.
