Palantir secured a record $1.855 billion in revenue from the American government in 2025, the company said in an earnings report that beat market expectations.

“We’ve also done this while supporting, in a critical way, some of the most interesting, complex, unusual operations that the US government has been involved in, many of which we can’t comment on, but this has been the highlight of the past year and is very exciting for all of us at Palantir,” said CEO Alex Karp on the investor call.

Palantir’s “stimulating” business with the US government will grow 55% annually through 2025. In the last three months of the year, Palantir earned $570 million in revenue, with 66% year-over-year growth.

Much of this revenue is driven by the company’s work for the Department of Defense, “as well as accelerating momentum in civil agencies,” said Palantir chief revenue officer Ryan Taylor.

Palantir’s close relationship with at least one of the civil agencies is at the center of the growing public EXAMININGand that is the Department of Homeland Security.

DHS is relying on Palantir software in its effort to turbocharge the Trump administration’s brutality. crackdown on immigrants. Last year, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency paid Palantir $60 million to build a surveillance platform called ImmigrationOS to track self-deportations. Just a few months ago, an Amnesty International report says Palantir’s AI software is being used to target non-citizens who speak out in favor of Palestine.

ICE also uses Palantir tech to decide which neighborhoods to target for deportation raids. The program is called ELITE (short for Enhanced Lead Identification and Targeting), and it was first revealed by a 404 Media report last month and was later confirmed by a DHS report in AI use cases in the Department.

The same report also says that ICE is using Palantir AI to review, summarize, and categorize tips sent to the agency.

Karp himself has expressed favor with Trump’s immigration policy, saying he will use his “full influence to ensure that this country remains skeptical of immigration.“

But Palantir’s partnership with Washington goes beyond immigration. Many parts of the government rely on Palantir software, most notably the Pentagon and most notably through a $480 million deal for a AI-powered target identification system called Maven.

“Our weapons software is in every combat situation (that) I’m aware of,” Karp said. In fact, the CEO claims that it is very effective to be his chief technology officer Shyam Sankar’s “The phone was ringing all day, and all they wanted from him was ‘how can I do this same thing across the government?'”

Karp’s usual response to accusations that Palantir is aiding the administration in immorality (and others argue illegal) actions is that the company’s software is the only way the public can be assured that government actions remain constitutional. He used it REASONING when defending the use of Palantir software in the Caribbean boat strike that many experts believe war crimesand he used it again in an investor call to quell fears of mass surveillance driven by Palantir.

Karp argued that Palantir is building technology that will hold the government accountable to the legal limits of its surveillance, and ensure that “every institution that uses our product is doing so in accordance with American law and ethics.”

But what happens when those “laws and ethics” themselves become questionable? Well, Palantir keeps paying.

Take Palantir’s work for the Department of Health and Human Services. For nearly the last year, Palantir has provided AI tools to attack government programs, contracts, and grants that don’t fit the Trump administration’s views on gender, the environment, and race, according to a newly published report on AI use cases by HHS.

The Department is using Palantir AI to ensure that all grants and jobs comply with Trump’s targeted executive orders. OF THE and “gender ideology.“

Since they were signed a year ago, the two executive orders have led to several federal layoffs, including some targeting. nothing to do with DEI positions, and major cuts in funding for essential research. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is even required scrub any mention of words like “gender,” “LGBT,” or “environmental justice,” recovery and even cessation some research submissions, while Trump CUT OFF more than 1,600 research grants from the National Science Foundation.
