Stripe Valuation Set to Reach $140 Billion in New Tender Offer

Stripe is working on a tender offer that would value the payments giant at least $140 billion, up more than $30 billion from its most recent valuation of $107 billion last year.

The milestone would mark Stripe's highest valuation ever, surpassing its 2021 peak of $95 billion.

Bloomberg News reported the development, citing an informed source. A Stripe spokesperson declined to comment.

The tender offer signals Stripe may continue postponing its initial public offering. Co-founder and President John Collison stated: "We're still not in any rush. It's very early for us where, genuinely, it's the fastest-moving time in our industry since we started Stripe."

Since 2024, Stripe has held frequent tender offers allowing employees to sell shares without going public. The company hasn't announced new funding since raising $6.5 billion in 2023 and achieved profitability the following year.

Stripe has made a number of strategic acquisitions recently to strengthen its position in stablecoins and AI, including Bridge (stablecoin infrastructure), Privy (crypto wallet provider), and Metronome (usage-based billing platform), which was completed in January 2026.

CEO Patrick Collison noted that metered pricing represents "the native business model for the AI era."
