Leaked documents reveal OpenAI's financial status in 2025: revenue reaches $13 billion, net loss exceeds $38.5 billion

According to financial audit documents disclosed by technology critic Ed Zitron and verified by the Financial Times, OpenAI achieved revenue of $13.07 billion in 2025, but total costs and expenses reached $34 billion, resulting in an operating loss of $20.92 billion for the year. Due to OpenAI's structural shift to a for-profit entity that year, it incurred a loss of up to $41.55 billion from the fair value change of convertible equity and warrants. After accounting for interest and other factors and excluding non-controlling interest gains and losses, the final net loss attributable to OpenAI for 2025 amounted to $38.53 billion.Comparative data in the documents indicate that OpenAI's losses are showing a dramatic year-on-year increase. Its revenue in 2024 was $3.7 billion, total costs were $12.48 billion, operating loss was $8.78 billion, and the final net loss attributable to the company was $5.09 billion. By 2025, its core expenses saw R&D costs surge to $19.18 billion, revenue costs were $7.5 billion, and sales and marketing expenses were $5.73 billion. By the end of 2025, OpenAI had slightly over $50 billion in assets, nearly half of which was cash reserves.Additionally, the document disclosed for the first time the financial transactions between OpenAI and its major strategic partners in detail. During 2025, SoftBank paid OpenAI $867 million, while Microsoft paid $303 million. Meanwhile, OpenAI paid Microsoft service fees of up to $17.2 billion in the 2025 calendar year, of which $10.59 billion was accounted for as R&D expenses (widely believed to be for model training costs), and $6.047 billion was related to revenue costs. By the end of 2025, OpenAI still had approximately $3.64 billion in liabilities to Microsoft.

The consultation on the draft "Financial Law" has ended, with very little involvement regarding the legal status of digital currencies and the regulatory boundaries of crypto assets

According to Caixin, the one-month public consultation for the "Financial Law of the People's Republic of China (Draft)" ended today (April 19). This is the first overarching law in China and the world with "finance" in its name. The expansion of "quasi-judicial powers" for financial regulation is a topic of great concern in the market.According to Article 55 and related provisions, financial regulatory authorities have the right to access and copy property rights information, communication records, and transaction records of relevant entities and individuals when investigating financial violations. They can directly freeze or seal assets if there is evidence suggesting the transfer or concealment of illegal funds and securities. They can even decide that individuals suspected of violations cannot leave the country during the investigation.In addition, Zeng Gang, chief expert and director of the Shanghai Financial and Development Laboratory, believes that the "Financial Law" should also strengthen its focus and coverage on emerging financial formats. Topics such as AI-driven financial decision-making, the legal status of digital currencies, and the regulatory boundaries of crypto assets have sparked widespread controversy globally, but the draft addresses them very little. How to maintain a dynamic balance between lawful regulation and inclusive innovation is a problem left to be solved by legislation.
