Stripe's valuation increased to $65 billion
Stripe's valuation has increased to $65 billion in a recent employee stock sale deal, marking a 30% rise from its valuation in the previous year. This increase contrasts with its $95 billion peak in 2021. The agreement involved buying over $1 billion of shares from current and former employees, with notable participation from investors like Sequoia Capital and Goldman Sachs's growth equity fund. This move, seen as a liquidity provision for employees, postpones the anticipated Stripe IPO, possibly until after 2024.
