Stripe continues to solidify its position as one of the most valuable private fintech companies. Here's what you need to know:

  • Stripe’s valuation rose to $106.7B, surpassing its previous 2021 high of $95B and the $91.5B valuation earlier this year, according to Bloomberg and Axios.
  • Stripe, like OpenAI and Anthropic, remains a private company, and they are reportedly in talks to buy back shares from venture investors.

  • In May, the company expanded its money management offerings by launching Stablecoin Financial Accounts.

  • Stripe’s new stablecoin offerings allow businesses to hold and send stablecoins globally and receive payments through both crypto and traditional fiat rails like ACH and SEPA, enhancing Stripe’s role in international financial operations.
  • Earlier this month, Stripe opposed J.P. Morgan’s plan to charge for customer data access, urging the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to consider options that would deter the fees.
