OpenAI's confidential IPO documents revealed: zero liabilities on the books, off-balance-sheet computing power and infrastructure commitments amounting to $665 billion

According to a report by The Information, the confidential IPO registration draft submitted by OpenAI shows that as of the end of March 2026, OpenAI's balance sheet exhibits "light asset" characteristics, with zero debt on the books and capital expenditures of only $46 million in the first quarter. However, in reality, the company has placed substantial infrastructure expenditures off the books, with future procurement commitments in chips, energy, and data centers reaching up to $665 billion. Financial data indicates that OpenAI's actual net loss in the first quarter was approximately $8.5 billion, with revenue costs amounting to $3.5 billion.Additionally, OpenAI demonstrates a very high characteristic of related-party funding cycles. In the first quarter, 72% of its revenue costs and 45% of total expenditures flowed to related parties (expected to be primarily Microsoft), and it directly used $488 million in equity to settle part of its computing power bills. In the data center joint venture project within its consolidated financial statements, nearly $5 billion in book losses is accounted for as belonging to external partners. The documents also reveal that its main competitor, Anthropic, is similarly engaging in large-scale off-balance-sheet expansion, including $4.5 billion in data center service commitments and $35 billion in chip leasing orders.

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 Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission enhances measures to combat forged documents and money laundering risks and raises account opening standards

The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) issued a circular outlining the monitoring measures that should be implemented when opening accounts and maintaining client relationships. This circular was issued after the SFC reviewed the account opening practices of 12 securities brokerage firms.The review identified several significant deficiencies, including insufficient due diligence on account opening documents, acceptance of suspicious or forged documents during the account opening process, and weaknesses in managing cross-border agency relationships with overseas intermediaries. The SFC expressed deep concern about the potential misuse of client accounts for suspicious or illegal transactions, which could exacerbate the risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.The SFC requires all licensed corporations to conduct internal checks as soon as practicable to detect whether any suspicious or forged documents have been accepted for account opening. The SFC also outlined additional measures for licensed corporations when opening and managing accounts for mainland investors.These additional measures include closing investment accounts opened with suspicious or forged documents, closing zero-balance dormant investment accounts, and requiring a written declaration from investors when opening new investment accounts, stipulating that settlements and fund withdrawals can only be conducted through bank accounts held in the investor's own name at qualified banks.
