OpenAI's annual revenue exceeds $25 billion, while Anthropic reports $19 billion, catching up rapidly

According to TheInformation, as of the end of February 2026, OpenAI's annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion.OpenAI's Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar confirmed in the official blog and multiple reports in January 2026 that the company's annualized revenue for 2025 surpassed $20 billion, representing an approximately 230% increase from $6 billion in 2024. However, some subsequent public investor information indicates that OpenAI's actual total revenue for 2025 was about $13.1 billion, exceeding the company's earlier target of $10 billion but falling short of the peak annualized estimate of $20 billion.After rapid growth in 2025, OpenAI experienced a slowdown in growth in the second half of the year. Media outlets like CNBC estimate that its mid-year annualized revenue last year was around $10 to $13 billion, with year-end annualized revenue at about $5.5 billion.In contrast, OpenAI's direct competitor Anthropic had a mid-year annualized revenue of about $4 billion in 2025, which quickly grew to around $9 billion by the end of the year, thanks to the surge in enterprise customers and products like Claude Code. As of early March this year, the latest annualized revenue has exceeded $19 billion. Currently, Claude Code's run rate has surpassed $2.5 billion, with over 500 clients spending more than $1 million annually. The gap between Anthropic and OpenAI is narrowing.

Aave Labs proposal transfers 100% of protocol revenue to the DAO in exchange for operational funds

According to The Block, Aave Labs has proposed a framework proposal to transfer 100% of the revenue from all Aave brand products to the Aave DAO treasury, and to transfer the related trademarks and intellectual property to the newly established Aave Foundation, while requesting funding support from the DAO for its operations.According to the proposal, Aave Labs will forgo all revenue from future business lines such as Aave v3, v4 protocols, aave.com frontend revenue, Aave Card, and AAVE ETF. In exchange, it requests the DAO to commit to providing $25 million in stablecoins and 75,000 AAVE to cover operational expenses, as well as applying for five grants of $3 million each for the development and marketing of Aave App, Aave Pro, and Aave Card, along with $2.5 million for Aave Kit.Aave Labs stated that the v4 architecture will enable revenue models that were difficult to achieve in previous versions, planning to gradually adjust v3 parameters to guide migration 8-12 months after the v4 launch. The proposal also requests the DAO to coordinate with Labs on v4 development and to postpone the development of new features for v3.Marc Zeller, founder of the Aave Chan Initiative, expressed opposition to this. Zeller described it as a "disguised attempt at cashing out under the guise of goodwill," claiming that Labs is trying to use a radical proposal as leverage in negotiations, "attempting to impose outcomes regardless of the governance process." He estimates that Labs' actual funding request is around $50 million and questions its governance legitimacy.
