Stripe, one of the most highly valued private companies in the world, is reportedly in discussions for another shareholder sale. This potential transaction could value the fintech giant at “at least” $85 billion. The company is no stranger to high valuations, having conducted a similar tender offer in February valued at $70 billion. In 2021, Stripe was valued at an impressive $95 billion.
The fintech company has been making strategic moves as it plans to expand its workforce to approximately 10,000 employees by the end of the year. This growth comes after the company laid off 300 workers in January, highlighting its evolving strategy amidst a dynamic market environment.
Stripe's position in the fintech industry remains robust. As the company continues to attract attention with its valuation and business maneuvers, it maintains its status as a private entity. This status adds another layer of intrigue to its market activities and potential shareholder opportunities.
