Another year saw a Stripe tender offer in which investors bought stock from employees that significantly valued the company.
On Tuesday, Stripe announced that this latest secondary transaction values the company at $159 billion. Investors buying shares include Thrive Capital, Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, and Stripe itself.
In February 2025, Stripe announced its last tender offer, valuing the company at $91.5 billion. That means the valuation has increased by about 74% over the year. The annual announcement is no coincidence. Stripe timed the news with an annual letter from founders Patrick and John Collison, highlighting the company's year of product release and some insight into global product usage over the course of the year.
For example, according to Stripe, stablecoin payment value will double to around $400 billion worldwide in 2025, and the company estimates that 60% of that will come from B2B payments. This growth is one reason why Stripe has been investing heavily in its cryptocurrency infrastructure recently, acquiring cryptocurrency wallet service Privy in July and announcing its own payments blockchain Tempo in September. As for Bridge, the stablecoin orchestration platform Stripe acquired last year, the company said its transaction volume has more than quadrupled.
Correction: This article originally stated that global stablecoin volume was on Stripe's network, but this article has now been corrected.
