OpenAI secured $122 billion in its latest funding round, pushing its valuation to $852 billion—the highest ever for an AI company—announced March 31, 2026. Major backers include Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, and SoftBank, with individual investors contributing over $3 billion, marking OpenAI’s first public investor participation. Monthly revenue hit $2 billion, with 2025 earnings at $13.1 billion, yet the company remains unprofitable due to soaring AI training and infrastructure costs. Projections suggest OpenAI could spend $500 billion by 2030 if current expenditure trends continue, per The Guardian, highlighting unsustainable burn rates. The funding surge follows a $110 billion round in February 2026, valuing OpenAI at $730 billion, underscoring rapid investor confidence in AI’s growth potential.
