Stripe Announces Tender Offer at $159 Billion Valuation as 2025 Total Payment Volume Reaches $1.9 Trillion

Stripe announced on 24 February 2026 that it had signed agreements for a tender offer valuing the payments technology company at $159 billion, providing a liquidity mechanism for current and former employees. The announcement was made alongside the company's disclosure of its full-year 2025 operating results, which showed that businesses on the Stripe platform generated $1.9 trillion in total payment volume during 2025, a 34% increase from the prior year, the company said in a newsroom post on its website.

The $159 billion valuation established by the tender offer represented the price at which employee shares would change hands in the secondary transaction, with investors including Thrive Capital, Coatue and a16z providing most of the funds and Stripe using some of its own capital to repurchase shares. The valuation was a 74% increase on the $91.5 billion valuation set in Stripe's February 2025 tender offer.

TOTAL PAYMENT VOLUME GROWS 34% TO $1.9 TRILLION

Stripe said the volume was equivalent to roughly 1.6% of global GDP, and it now powers 90% of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and 80% of the Nasdaq 100.

The Revenue suite — comprising Billing, Invoicing, Tax and other products — was described as being on track to reach an annual revenue run rate of $1 billion in 2026.
