On February 27, 2025, Stripe announced a new employee tender offer that values the company at $91.5 billion. The move, aimed at providing liquidity for current and former employees, comes as the payment giant continues to display strong financial performance and growth, with supplemental reports noting a significant rise in total payment volume in 2024.
The announcement highlights a split in venture capital sentiment. While some investors are optimistic about patient growth and are anticipating liquidity events possibly tied to potential future regulatory easing by the SEC, others raise concerns over the sustainability of investments without immediate returns and the challenges posed if major companies delay or forego IPOs.
