> Its paid subscription tier, ChatGPT Plus, now counts over 10 million subscribers, while enterprise usage has reached near ubiquity, with 92% of Fortune 100 companies incorporating the platform into their operations.

1. Down from 20M subscribers in April 2025? https://www.theverge.com/openai/640894/chatgpt-has-hit-20-mi...

This is why they don't disclose it, to keep the hype going: https://youtu.be/MoeSL0BxZUE?si=a4HoSpxAzX33UG8t&t=209

2. 92% penetration of Fortune 100 companies: executive push, low adoption

Similar story for Microsoft with regards to adoption:

> “A source that has seen materials related to sales has confirmed that, as of August 2025, Microsoft has around eight million active licensed users of Microsoft 365 Copilot, amounting to a 1.81% conversion rate across the 440 million Microsoft 365 subscribers.”

All the chatter about subscriber numbers distracts from the fact that they're burning way too much capital to ever make a profit.
