Stripe Inc. is reportedly preparing a tender offer that could value the company at $140 billion, significantly higher than its previous valuation of $107 billion. This move, reported by Bloomberg, suggests that Stripe may continue to delay its initial public offering (IPO). The terms of the offer are still under discussion, and Stripe has not commented on the matter. The payment giant has been facilitating tender offers since 2024, allowing employees to sell shares without going public. Despite recent layoffs of about 300 employees, Stripe plans to continue hiring and expanding. Co-founder John Collison recently expressed contentment with remaining private, indicating no rush for an IPO.
