Microsoft–OpenAI disclosed revenue relationship

What Microsoft disclosed

  • $24.1B of FY2026 revenue from commercial arrangements with OpenAI, including revenue-sharing payments.
  • $6.0B of receivables from OpenAI at June 30, 2026.
  • Microsoft held an approximately 25% as-converted equity-method interest in OpenAI and had funded $11.9B of a $13.0B commitment at June 30, 2026.
  • Separately, in April 2026 Microsoft said its overall AI business exceeded a $37B annual-revenue run rate.

Conclusion

$24.1B / $37B = 65%, which explains the “about 70%” claim. It is an inference—not a Microsoft disclosure—and is not apples-to-apples: the numerator is full-year related-party revenue including revenue sharing, while the denominator is a point-in-time AI run rate. Microsoft does not disclose a standalone audited AI-sales total or state OpenAI's share of it.
