xAI Financials

Funding rounds and the valuation arc from a $24 billion post-money mark in May 2024 to a $230 billion Series E close in January 2026, the two governance-reshaping mergers (the March 2025 all-stock combination with X Corp. and the February 2026 all-stock acquisition by SpaceX at a combined $1.25 trillion), the Memphis Colossus capex story (555,000 NVIDIA GPUs at 2 gigawatts), the NAACP lawsuit over the Southaven gas-turbine power plant, what Grok revenue and ARR xAI has actually disclosed, the Pentagon and HUMAIN partnerships, and the named-customer roster — every claim cited to a primary source rather than to investor-deck rumors. xAI is privately held and does not file with SEC EDGAR; no 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, or DEF 14A is available.

Private company — what's on this page is what xAI has actually disclosed, plus what its largest counterparties (SpaceX, NVIDIA, the Pentagon, HUMAIN) have disclosed about their xAI exposure. xAI is not a registered SEC filer: no 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, DEF 14A. The financial picture below is reconstructed from xAI's own news feed at x.ai/news (Series B and Series E confirmations; Memphis Colossus build-out announcements; the November 2025 HUMAIN partnership; the December 2025 Grok Business and Grok Enterprise launches), Musk's X account where post-merger announcements have routed through him personally, and contemporaneous reporting from CNBC, Bloomberg, TechCrunch, The Information, Reuters, Fortune, Axios, and Defense News. Where reporter coverage is the only source for a number, the row is labeled Reported and links to the underlying coverage. Where xAI itself confirmed a number, the row is labeled Confirmed and links to the primary source. Revenue is surfaced as a headline counter only on a Reported basis — xAI has not formally disclosed GAAP revenue, ARR, gross margin, or burn rate.

The X merger — March 2025

On March 28, 2025 Musk announced an all-stock combination of xAI and X Corp. (the former Twitter platform he had taken private in October 2022 for $44 billion). The deal valued xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, forming a combined ~$113 billion holding-company entity. Grok had run inside X since its November 2023 launch; the merger formalized what had been a tight operational partnership and brought ex-Twitter / X platform-engineering staff into the post-merger xAI reporting hierarchy.

What this means for the numbers on this page.

Pre-merger xAI financials reflect a pure AI-lab burn-rate-and-capex profile. Post-merger numbers blend AI-lab capex with X's social-platform advertising revenue and operating losses. xAI Holdings does not publish a consolidated income statement; the page treats merger-attributable financial flows as not-separately-disclosed and surfaces only the values for which a primary source exists. The leadership-side mechanics of the merger (the Yaccarino transition, the inflow of ex-Twitter / X engineering staff) are covered in detail on the sibling xAI Leadership page.

The SpaceX merger — February 2026

On February 3, 2026 SpaceX announced an all-stock acquisition of xAI — each xAI share converting at a 0.1433 ratio into SpaceX equity, valuing xAI at $250 billion against SpaceX's $1 trillion for a combined $1.25 trillion entity, reported at the time as the largest tech merger ever. xAI now operates as a SpaceX subsidiary; Musk remains CEO of xAI and of SpaceX concurrently. The April 10, 2026 staff restructuring that installed Starlink VP Michael Nicolls as xAI's President (and saw CFO Anthony Armstrong depart in the same restructuring) was the first visible leadership consequence of the merger; further engineering-team reorganization followed in May 2026.

What this means for the numbers on this page.

The merger added a parent-level corporate layer above xAI Holdings: SpaceX (parent) → xAI Holdings (xAI + X) → xAI the AI lab. SpaceX itself remains private and is not a registered SEC filer, so the combined entity has no consolidated public income statement. The Series E raise that closed roughly a month before this announcement remains the most-recent xAI-specific equity-financing event; subsequent capital is being deployed inside the combined-entity structure, which the page treats as outside its scope. The leadership-side mechanics of the merger are covered on the sibling xAI Leadership page; the related Musk political-entanglement thread is covered at the leadership page's political-entanglement subsection.

Funding rounds

Newest round first. Each row's Confirmed / Reported pill reflects whether the dollar figures come from a primary source (xAI's own announcement) or from contemporaneous reporting only. Click a row to expand the round's prose detail and source links. The X-merger and SpaceX-merger valuations sit in their own callouts above (the merger marks are not funding rounds; they're share-conversion events).

Series E Jan 6, 2026 $20B at $230B post-money (upsized from $15B target) Valor / Nvidia Confirmed

On January 6, 2026 xAI announced the close of its $20 billion Series E at a $230 billion post-money valuation, upsized from an initial $15 billion target. The round brought in Nvidia and Cisco as strategic investors alongside a deep list of existing growth-stage participants. The round closed roughly a month before the February 3, 2026 SpaceX merger announcement.

Named participants per contemporaneous reporting: Valor Equity Partners, StepStone Group, Fidelity Management & Research Co., Qatar Investment Authority, MGX (UAE sovereign-AI fund), Baron Capital Group, Nvidia Corp., Cisco Investments, and Tesla. Saudi Arabia's HUMAIN later took a $3 billion significant minority stake in the Series E as part of the November 2025 framework partnership announced at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum; see the customer / partner section below.

Primary source: xAI news feed · TechCrunch, Jan 6, 2026 · CNBC, Jan 6, 2026. HUMAIN $3B participation: Wamda, Feb 2026.

Series D Sep 19, 2025 $10B at $200B post-money Valor / Kingdom Holding Reported

In September 2025 xAI was reported to have closed a $10 billion equity round at a $200 billion post-money valuation, with Valor Capital, the Qatar Investment Authority, and Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal's Kingdom Holding among the named participants. Musk initially called the report “fake news” on X, stating “xAI is not raising any capital right now”; the round closing was nevertheless reported by CNBC and Bloomberg with corroborating-source sourcing.

This row is labeled Reported because xAI did not publish a Series D announcement on its news feed under that name. The Series E close in January 2026 implicitly references a prior round at the ~$200 billion mark by virtue of the $230 billion Series E post-money, but xAI has not formally tied the September 2025 close to the “Series D” label in a primary-source post.

Sources: CNBC, Sep 19, 2025 · Bloomberg, Sep 19, 2025.

Mid-2025 financing Jul 2025 $5B debt (Morgan Stanley) + $5B strategic equity Morgan Stanley Reported

In July 2025 xAI was reported to have closed a $10 billion financing package structured as $5 billion of debt arranged by Morgan Stanley and $5 billion in a separate strategic equity transaction. The debt portion was the first major debt raise in xAI's history and was packaged primarily to fund Memphis Colossus capex; the strategic-equity portion's valuation was not separately disclosed in reporter coverage but is consistent with the ~$150 billion mark the September 2025 round was reported to have stepped up from.

Source: Crunchbase News, Jul 2025.

Series C Dec 2024 $6B at $50B post-money a16z / Sequoia Reported

In December 2024 xAI was reported by TechCrunch and others to have closed a $6 billion Series C at a $50 billion post-money valuation, a step-up from the May 2024 Series B's $24 billion mark roughly seven months earlier. The reported investor roster brought in BlackRock and Nvidia as new strategic participants, with existing investors (Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity, Tiger Global, Saudi / Qatar / Oman sovereign-wealth funds) doubling down.

Sources: TechCrunch, Dec 25, 2024. xAI has not published a Series C announcement on its own news feed under that name; the round is labeled Reported on this page.

Series B May 26, 2024 $6B at $24B post-money a16z / Sequoia / Valor Confirmed

On May 26, 2024 xAI announced via its own news feed the close of a $6 billion Series B at a $24 billion post-money valuation (pre-money ~$18 billion). The round is the page's anchor-confirmed valuation mark for the 2024 portion of the arc.

Named participants: Valor Equity Partners, Vy Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management & Research Company, and Kingdom Holding Company (the Prince Al-Waleed-bin-Talal vehicle; Saudi Riyals 1.5 billion = ~$400 million participation per Kingdom Holding's own Tadawul disclosure).

Primary source: xAI news feed (May 2024 Series B announcement); Kingdom Holding Tadawul filing per Wamda, May 2024 · Fortune, May 27, 2024.

Pre-Series-B Late 2023 Initial seed/Series-A range; specifics not formally disclosed Not formally disclosed Reported

xAI was incorporated in Nevada on March 9, 2023 and publicly launched July 12, 2023. Initial financing in the second half of 2023 has not been disclosed by xAI in a primary-source post under a Series A label; contemporaneous reporting and Crunchbase-style aggregator profiles describe an early Andreessen Horowitz / Sequoia-led seed-to-Series-A range without authoritative figures. The page treats this row as a placeholder: the row exists so the funding-rounds arc has a defined starting point, but the dollar figure and post-money valuation are not asserted.

Sources: aggregator profiles only. If xAI ever publishes a retrospective on its early financing — or if a Form D under any "X.AI Corp." / "xAI Holdings" name surfaces on SEC EDGAR — this row will be backfilled with primary-source figures on the next refresh.

Valuation arc

Post-money valuation per round on a logarithmic scale. The two merger events — the March 2025 X-merger mark at $80B and the February 2026 SpaceX-merger mark at $250B — are plotted as ringed points alongside the funding rounds; they are share-conversion events rather than fresh-capital raises, but the implied xAI valuation at each event is itself a primary-source-confirmable datum. Confirmed values are drawn solid; reported values are drawn dashed.

Revenue and ARR — what's actually been disclosed

xAI has not published a primary-source revenue figure, ARR snapshot, gross-margin disclosure, or burn-rate number on its own news feed. The figures below come from contemporaneous reporting and from xAI's reported communications with investors during fundraises; the page surfaces them with explicit reporter-coverage attribution and labels the section accordingly.

FY2025 revenue (reported)

Per contemporaneous reporting

~$350M

Reported · Not confirmed by xAI

Annualized revenue (reported)

As of mid-2026

~$500M

Reported · Investor-side framing during the Series E and post-merger period

FY2026 revenue target (reported)

Reported to investors

~$2B

Reported · xAI has not formally guided

What has not been disclosed. xAI has not published recognized GAAP revenue, ARR by product (Grok consumer subscriptions, Grok API, Grok Business / Grok Enterprise, government contracts), gross margin, operating margin, free cash flow, or burn rate. The two largest revenue surfaces — the Grok consumer tier inside the X application and the Grok API — sit inside corporate structures (xAI Holdings, then post-Feb-2026 SpaceX) that do not file an income statement. Reported figures above describe xAI standalone; X advertising revenue (post-March-2025 merger) and any post-February-2026 SpaceX-flowthrough are separate questions the page does not attempt to answer.

The Memphis Colossus capex story

Colossus is xAI's primary training cluster, located in Memphis, Tennessee (Colossus 1) and Southaven, Mississippi (Colossus 2), roughly 15 miles south across the Tennessee–Mississippi state line. The buildout has been the largest single-site AI-infrastructure project ever undertaken and is the most-cited capital deployment in xAI's history; xAI itself has not published total Colossus capex but has confirmed each major hardware milestone via its news feed and Musk's X account. The build-out cadence has consistently outpaced contemporaneous coverage of competing AI-lab clusters.

GPU count and power-capacity timeline

Sep 2024 ~100,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, bring-up complete; xAI publicly described the buildout as taking 122 days from break-ground to first training job, an industry-record pace at the time. Memphis Colossus 1 site.

Dec 2025 ~230,000 GPUs across the combined site: 150,000 H100 + 50,000 H200 + 30,000 GB200, described at the time as the world's largest single-coherent AI training cluster.

Jan 2026 ~555,000 NVIDIA GPUs across Colossus 1 and Colossus 2 combined, at ~2 gigawatts total capacity, with the GPU outlay reported by trade press at approximately $18 billion. Musk announced the third building purchase and the 2 GW milestone via his X account; xAI's x.ai/colossus page reflects the updated scale.

Q2 2027 ~1.1 GW from on-site gas turbines (Solaris), per Solaris's own published deployment schedule for the xAI account. Today the site draws ~250 MW from the Memphis utility grid and the balance from on-site generation, of which the largest portion is the contested Southaven gas-turbine plant (see sub-callout below).

Sources: x.ai/colossus · Introl, Jan 2026 expansion writeup · Data Center Dynamics · SemiAnalysis.

The Southaven gas-turbine plant — NAACP lawsuit and Clean Air Act dispute

To bridge the gap between the Memphis utility grid's ~250 MW intertie and Colossus's two-gigawatt power demand, xAI installed a fleet of portable gas-fired turbines at the Southaven, Mississippi site. The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC) and Earthjustice, representing the national NAACP and its Mississippi State Conference, allege the turbines were brought online without Clean Air Act preconstruction permits, without public notice, and without the best-available control technology required for facilities of this emissions class.

Turbine count. The plant initially comprised 27 gas-fired turbines. After SELC and the NAACP filed a Clean Air Act Section 304 notice of intent to sue in February 2026, xAI brought six additional turbines online for a total of 33.

Reported emissions. SELC's filings estimate the plant has the potential to emit more than 1,700 tons of NO_x per year, which would make it the largest single industrial source of smog-forming pollutants in the greater Memphis area — an area already in non-attainment for federal smog standards.

Litigation timeline. Section 304 notice February 2026 → complaint filed against xAI in U.S. federal court on April 14, 2026 → emergency motion to halt unpermitted-turbine operation filed in April 2026 → Democracy Now long-form coverage April 22, 2026. xAI's response posture: the company has not published a press release responding directly to the lawsuit on its news feed; reporter-cited xAI statements describe the turbines as “temporary” bridge power and assert that pollution-control equipment is being installed alongside the permanent Solaris generation cited in the timeline above.

Sources: Earthjustice case page · SELC case page · NAACP press release · CNBC, Apr 14, 2026.

The page treats the Southaven Clean Air Act dispute as a sub-callout within the Memphis Colossus subsection rather than as a standalone /orgs/xai/lawsuits/ section. If the docket expands — class-action joinder, state-level enforcement actions, or independent suits over the Tennessee–Mississippi water-quality dimension — promoting the litigation surface to its own per-org page becomes appropriate.

Named customers and strategic partnerships

Customers and partners xAI has surfaced in primary-source posts, plus the counterparties that have disclosed xAI exposure on their own surfaces. xAI does not publish a customer-concentration disclosure (private; no 10-K); the roster below is intentionally limited to what is publicly verifiable.

U.S. federal government — "Grok For Government"

On July 14, 2025 the U.S. Department of Defense awarded contracts with a $200 million ceiling each to xAI, OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, with implementation in early 2026 at Impact Level 5 (Controlled Unclassified Information). xAI also concurrently launched its Grok For Government suite (federal, state, local, national-security customers) under a GSA OneGov purchasing arrangement that gives federal agencies a structured procurement path. Source: Axios, Jul 14, 2025 · Defense News, Jul 15, 2025.

HUMAIN (Saudi Arabia) — sovereign AI partnership

A November 2025 framework agreement, announced at the U.S.-Saudi Investment Forum in Washington, D.C., commits HUMAIN (Saudi Arabia's sovereign AI vehicle) and xAI to jointly develop more than 500 MW of hyperscale GPU data-center capacity in the Kingdom, deploy approximately 18,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs in the flagship cluster, integrate Grok into HUMAIN ONE (the kingdom's agentic-AI platform), and deploy Grok nationwide across Saudi public and private entities. HUMAIN subsequently took a $3 billion significant minority stake in xAI through the January 2026 Series E (post-close confirmation in February 2026). Source: xAI: Grok goes Global with KSA · Data Centre Magazine, Feb 2026.

NVIDIA — GPU supplier and Series E strategic investor

NVIDIA has been xAI's primary GPU supplier across the H100 / H200 / GB200 / GB300 generations through 2024 and 2025, and was the named strategic-investor lead alongside Cisco in the January 2026 Series E. NVIDIA's most recent 10-K customer-concentration footnote does not name xAI explicitly (NVIDIA's customer-concentration disclosure names by top-N anonymized customer codes, with no named-customer attribution in the body of the K), but contemporaneous reporting on the Colossus buildout consistently positions xAI among NVIDIA's top three customers by Data Center revenue. Cross-reference: /orgs/nvidia/financials/.

Cisco — Series E strategic investor (networking infrastructure)

Cisco Investments participated as a strategic investor in the January 2026 Series E; the company's commercial relationship with xAI on networking infrastructure is consistent with the parallel pattern of strategic-investment-plus-supply-agreement that NVIDIA has run. Specific deal terms (commercial spend, hardware family, multi-year commitment) are not publicly disclosed. Source: CNBC, Jan 6, 2026.

Grok Business and Grok Enterprise — enterprise tier

On December 30, 2025 xAI launched Grok Business at $30 per seat per month and Grok Enterprise for larger organizations requiring single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, audit logging, and the private “Vault” data-storage layer. The enterprise tier is the page's primary forward-revenue narrative; xAI has not disclosed enterprise ARR or seat counts but has framed Grok Enterprise as the load-bearing growth path on the call accompanying the Series E close.

Reported wall-street pilots (May 2026)

In May 2026 Bloomberg reported that Morgan Stanley and Apollo Global Management had each begun internal testing of Grok alongside competing AI assistants, as xAI pushed to broaden its financial-services customer base. These are pilots, not announced production deployments; surfaced here as Reported.

Acquisitions

xAI's M&A history is dominated by the two share-conversion mergers covered in the callouts at the top of this page. xAI has not announced any standalone acqui-hires, IP acquisitions, or product-line buyouts on its own news feed.

xAI's all-stock combination with X Corp. — March 28, 2025

xAI was the acquirer; X became a subsidiary of the new xAI Holdings parent. xAI at $80B, X at $33B, combined ~$113B. See callout above · leadership detail on the leadership page.

SpaceX's all-stock acquisition of xAI — February 3, 2026

SpaceX was the acquirer; xAI Holdings became a SpaceX subsidiary. xAI at $250B, SpaceX at $1T, combined $1.25T. See callout above · leadership detail on the leadership page.

Beyond the two mergers, no other xAI acquisitions have been publicly announced. If a future acqui-hire or product-line buyout lands, the recurring refresh task picks it up.

Methodology & data sources

Primary-vs-reported source discipline. Every value-bearing claim on this page is labeled Confirmed (sourced to xAI's own news feed, the xAI blog, or Musk's X account where the announcement routed through him personally rather than the company press feed) or Reported (sourced only to contemporaneous reporting from CNBC, Bloomberg, Reuters, Fortune, TechCrunch, The Information, Axios, Defense News, or similar). The methodology footer's first job is to keep this distinction visible to visitors, since reporter coverage of fast-moving private companies frequently surfaces dollar amounts and valuations the company itself has not formally confirmed.

No SEC EDGAR filings. xAI is privately held and is not a registered SEC filer under "X.AI Corp.", "xAI Holdings", or any related entity name as of May 2026. No 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, or DEF 14A is available. Periodic SEC EDGAR full-text searches at efts.sec.gov for these names are part of the recurring refresh; if a Form D for any private placement, an S-1 in advance of an IPO, or any other registration appears, the page's primary-source roster expands accordingly.

Reported-only revenue counter. The headline counter for FY2025 revenue (~$350M) and the annualized-revenue framing (~$500M as of mid-2026) come from contemporaneous reporting only. xAI has not published recognized GAAP revenue, ARR by product surface, gross margin, operating margin, free cash flow, or burn rate on its own news feed. Reported figures on this page describe xAI standalone — X advertising revenue (post-March-2025 merger) and any post-February-2026 SpaceX-flowthrough are separate questions the page does not attempt to answer.

Merger marks vs. funding-round marks. The two amber-bordered callouts at the top of this page describe share-conversion events, not fresh-capital raises. The implied xAI valuation at each merger ($80B at the March 2025 X merger; $250B at the February 2026 SpaceX merger) is plotted on the valuation arc as a filled point with an amber ring to mark the distinction.

Memphis Colossus capex. xAI has not published a total Colossus capex figure. The page surfaces hardware-milestone counts (GPU count, power capacity) from xAI's own news feed and from Musk's X account where the announcement routed through him personally; the ~$18 billion GPU outlay figure for the January 2026 555K-GPU mark comes from trade press estimating per-GPU spend at GB200/GB300 list prices and is labeled Reported in the body of the timeline.

Southaven Clean Air Act dispute. The sub-callout in the Memphis Colossus subsection treats the NAACP / SELC / Earthjustice litigation as a corporate-events disclosure. The page does not editorialize on the merits of the Clean Air Act claims; it reports the procedural posture (Section 304 notice February 2026 → complaint April 14, 2026 → emergency motion April 2026), the SELC-published emissions estimates, and links to the case pages on both sides.

What's intentionally not here. Computed valuation deltas / round-over-round multiples (the page surfaces the rounds and lets visitors do the math). Secondary-market tender-offer marks. Stock-pick framing or IPO-timing speculation. Cap-table specifics beyond what xAI or its investors have publicly disclosed. Editorial framing about Musk personally; the page reports facts (funding rounds, mergers, capex, environmental litigation) and cites primary sources rather than judging motives. Detailed Grok product specifications, which live on /ai/grok/versions/.

Refresh cadence. Hand-curated values are re-verified monthly against the load-bearing primary sources (x.ai/news, the Memphis Colossus page, Musk's X account, SEC EDGAR full-text search, NVIDIA's most-recent 10-Q customer-concentration footnote, and the most-recent CNBC / Bloomberg / Reuters / The Information coverage). xAI is fast-moving in funding (every six to twelve months historically), corporate structure (two mergers in two years), and capex disclosures; monthly is the cadence that catches new funding rounds, Colossus milestones, customer announcements, and Clean Air Act docket movements within roughly four weeks of disclosure.

Cross-references. xAI Leadership for the founders, current executive cohort, the Musk-personal-control governance subsection, and the Musk political-entanglement thread. /ai/grok/versions/ for the Grok model family timeline. xAI's row on the Orgs index for the company profile. /orgs/nvidia/financials/ for the NVIDIA customer-concentration footnote that contextualizes xAI's role in NVIDIA's Data Center revenue.
