OpenAI forecasts cash burn near $280 billion by 2030, FT reports
OpenAI expects revenue to rise tenfold to $350 billion by 2030 while spending about $856 billion on computing power and infrastructure, the FT reported.
- CEO Sam Altman confirmed on Saturday that OpenAI will not launch an IPO in 2026, though the firm is discussing a $1.2 trillion valuation to secure fresh funding.
- The Financial Times reported on Friday that OpenAI projects $278 billion in negative free cash flow through 2030, driven by aggressive investment in computing infrastructure to train and run AI models.
- Projections indicate cumulative revenue will reach $840 billion through 2030, while OpenAI anticipates spending about $856 billion on computing power and infrastructure over the same period.
- Because partners finance much of this build, OpenAI can increase spending while reducing burn, as significant debt obligations remain off the company's own balance sheet.
- With cash reserves on track to exhaust by 2028, the ChatGPT-maker requires fresh investment to sustain aggressive infrastructure growth and support potential mergers and acquisitions.
