SGOpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, is projected to spend $278 billion on cash burn between 2026 and 2030 as it invests heavily in computing power and infrastructure, according to a report by the Financial Times. The report cites a company presentation and mentions that OpenAI has been in discussions with investors potentially valuing the company at $1.2 trillion before a possible public listing. While OpenAI filed for an IPO in June, CEO Sam Altman stated the company will not go public in 2026 due to AI safety concerns. The financial projections include a tenfold increase in revenue, from $36 billion in 2024 to $350 billion by 2030, with total revenue expected to reach $840 billion by the end of the decade. OpenAI plans to spend approximately $856 billion on computing and infrastructure, making it their largest expense category. The company raised $122 billion in March at an $852 billion valuation but is anticipated to deplete that capital by 2028.
