Anthropic and OpenAI are projected to achieve a combined annual revenue rate of approximately $120 billion, according to data from AI investment research platform Funda, as noted by Tae Kim on Substack. Anthropic accounts for about 60% of this revenue, indicating its strong position with corporate clients. If these projections hold, both companies would rank among the top 100 in the Fortune 500 by revenue. Anthropic's estimated annual revenue of around $71 billion would surpass that of Starbucks, which reported $37.2 billion, and McDonald's, with $26.9 billion, combined. This revenue projection is notable given that Anthropic was founded only five years ago, while Starbucks and McDonald's have been established for 50 to 100 years.
