Anthropic has just officially surpassed OpenAI in revenue for the first time.


And no one is talking about how crazy this is.
January 2025: Anthropic's annual recurring revenue (ARR) reaches $1 billion.
April 2026: Anthropic's ARR hits $30 billion.
From $1 billion to $30 billion in just 15 months.
OpenAI currently stands at $24 billion.
A company built by people WHO HAVE LEFT OpenAI has just overtaken its competitor.
What makes this even more incredible is:
Anthropic achieved this with TRAINING COSTS LESS THAN 4 TIMES lower than OpenAI.
OpenAI has 900 million active weekly users. Most of them do not pay.
Anthropic has 300,000 enterprise customers. 80% of revenue comes from businesses.
That is a completely different business model, and it is working.
There are now over 1,000 companies spending more than $1 million annually on Claude.
That number has doubled in less than two months.
Eight out of the top 10 Fortune 10 companies are Claude customers.
And while OpenAI aims to break even by 2030, Anthropic expects to have positive cash flow by 2027.
Three years earlier.
Remember: Anthropic was founded in 2021.
It took them less than three years to go from zero to the fastest-growing company in American business history.
The AI race was supposed to be OpenAI competing against all other companies, but now that’s no longer the case.
If you want to know where I will invest next, all you need to do is turn on notifications and follow closely.
Many will regret not following me sooner, trust me.
