A leaked supplier deck pegs Valve Steam 2025 revenue at $14B with operating margin north of 70%. Per-employee economics are the headline most reporters miss — Valve has roughly 360 employees. That math implies $39M of revenue per employee.
The closest comparable in tech is OpenAI, and OpenAI is structurally lower margin. Valve is also the largest single counterparty to a non-public custody and payments stack at this scale.
