Investing.com -- OpenAI spent $3.7 billion during the first three months of 2026, representing more than half of its $5.7 billion in revenue for the period, The Information reported on Tuesday, citing documents the company shared with shareholders.
Cash burn and revenue both tripled compared to the same period in 2025, highlighting the continued financial challenges of generating profits from artificial intelligence despite strong demand, the report said.
The company held more than $73 billion in cash and marketable securities at the end of the first quarter, up from $40 billion at the end of December. The increase reflects a large funding round that was announced at the end of March, the Information reported.
If cash burn continues at the first quarter level, OpenAI will not need to raise additional funds in the near term. This could reduce pressure on the company to pursue a public offering in the immediate future.
But recent reports said OpenAI was planning to slash its AI pricing to better compete with rival Anthropic. Such a move could further hurt the company’s finances, especially given that it is yet to turn over a profit.
The company clocked a net loss of about $39 billion in 2025, the Financial Times reported earlier on Tuesday.
