Stripe Pursues $140 Billion Tender Offer

Stripe is reportedly working on a tender offer that would value the payments firm at at least $140 billion, Bloomberg reported Feb. 11, up from $107 billion last year. The company has run frequent tenders since 2024, raised $6.5 billion in 2023 and subsequently achieved profitability, while acquiring Bridge, Privy and Metronome to expand stablecoin, crypto-wallet and metered-billing capabilities. In 2023 Stripe and OpenAI developed the Agentic Commerce Protocol to enable purchases via conversational agents.
