Stripe has signed agreements with investors to provide liquidity to current and former employees through a tender offer that values the company at €135bn. That valuation is up from the €91bn Stripe secured last year, underscoring its staying power as one of fintech’s most valuable companies even as it keeps investors waiting for any public market debut. "Stripe remained robustly profitable, allowing us to continue investing heavily in product development as well as acquisitions," the Collisons said in their annual letter. "While their core business has never been stronger, we believe their most transformative chapters are being written right now. We believe Stripe's lead will only expand across the future of money movement due to their leadership in agentic commerce, stablecoins, and more."
