OpenAI has filed SEC paperwork in anticipation of an initial public stock offering. Recently leaked financial documents indicate that while the company is experiencing rapid revenue growth, its expenses are significantly higher. According to the audited financial statements obtained by journalist Ed Zitron, OpenAI's revenue is projected to increase from $3.7 billion in 2024 to $13.07 billion in 2025. The Financial Times reports that by the end of 2025, OpenAI's monthly revenues approached $2 billion. However, these revenues are overshadowed by substantial expenses, particularly in research and development, which rose from $7.81 billion in 2024 to $19.18 billion in 2025. A notable portion of these expenses includes $10.59 billion paid to Microsoft for R&D in 2025.
