OpenAI is formulating a five-year plan aimed at achieving over $1 trillion in spending to drive the development of artificial intelligence technology. The company is raising funds through various means, including exploring new revenue sources and establishing debt partnerships. Although operating revenue is expected to be around $4.3 billion in the first half of 2025, losses could reach as high as $13.5 billion, raising concerns among investors about its financial structure
According to Zhitong Finance APP, OpenAI is formulating a five-year plan to achieve its promised expenditure target of over $1 trillion, aimed at further promoting the development of artificial intelligence technology. According to several informed sources, this artificial intelligence startup is raising funds through various means, including exploring new revenue sources, establishing debt partnerships, and additional financing.
It is understood that OpenAI is also working to reach deals with governments and enterprises to provide more customized products and is exploring ways to obtain computing power from the "Star Gate" project with SoftBank Group. The company is also considering entering online advertising and launching consumer hardware products, particularly through collaboration with former Apple designer Jony Ive.
Notably, OpenAI is currently still in a loss-making state, and all financing proceeds will primarily be used to repay debts. Financial data shows that the company's capital debt level is significantly higher than its revenue scale, a financial structure that has raised concerns among some investors, including Microsoft.
According to the latest disclosures, OpenAI has committed to obtaining over 26 gigawatts of computing power resources from suppliers such as Oracle (ORCL.US), NVIDIA (NVDA.US), AMD (AMD.US), and Broadcom (AVGO.US), with related costs potentially exceeding $1 trillion over the next decade.
Recent financial reports indicate that the company achieved operating revenue of approximately $4.3 billion in the first half of 2025, but incurred a loss of $13.5 billion during the same period
