OpenAI is forecasting a steep cash drain in the back half of the decade, with the FT reporting the company expects to run a combined negative free cash flow of $278 billion from 2026 through 2030. The number appeared in a July briefing connected to a computing deal, relayed by someone with direct knowledge who asked to remain unnamed when discussing private details and would not address the financial figures.
OpenAI is also modeling a big top line in the years ahead. According to the FT, internal projections put revenue at $36 billion for the current year and envisage it reaching $350 billion in 2030. Even so, the company is pouring money into computing capacity, and those outlays are expected to outrun revenue growth by a wide margin. OpenAI declined to comment.

Bloomberg says OpenAI has begun initial investor talks for a possible round that could raise its valuation to above $1.2 trillion ahead of an IPO, with the FT first flagging the outreach. If OpenAI proceeds, Bloomberg says the added cash could give the company room to push its IPO back by one or two quarters and help fund more mergers and acquisitions. Separately, CEO Sam Altman told Fortune that an IPO remains planned but is not happening this year.
