Higgsfield, a startup that makes AI tools for video, said on September 24 that its annualized revenue run rate has passed $1 billion. Chief executive Alex Mashrabov shared the figure, and Bloomberg reported it.
How the number is made
Mashrabov told Bloomberg that the figure is Higgsfield’s revenue from the latest four weeks, multiplied by 13. It is a snapshot of recent sales, not a year of revenue already earned.
AdExchanger called it “not a rock-solid metric”. Seasonal swings in advertising can make a short window look much better or worse than a full year.
Short windows are common in AI. AdExchanger noted that Anthropic has used a similar one-month lookback.
All figures are Higgsfield’s own and are not audited.
Growth, according to the company
Higgsfield says its run rate was about $200 million at the end of 2025, $500 million in June, and $700 million in August.
RuntimeWire notes that the earlier figures may have used different time windows, so they are not strictly comparable.
Bloomberg reports that revenue from business customers under contract is up tenfold since June. Demand is strongest from brands that sell directly to consumers and make video ads.
Mashrabov described a “snowball effect”: once businesses see a return on AI-made ads, “they keep generating more and more.”
Money in, and the risks
In August, Higgsfield raised $400 million in a Series B round led by DST Global, at a valuation of $5.4 billion.
It depends on video models built by other companies, some of which also compete with it. Trending Topics reports that its gross margins have been positive since early 2026.
Startup Fortune warns that a cut in marketing budgets could quickly hit a company that relies on ad clients.
