Stripe Reaches $159B Valuation as Global Volume Hits $1.9 Trillion

Stripe was valued at $159 billion in a tender offer designed to provide liquidity to current and former employees, the programmable financial services company said in a Tuesday (Feb. 24) update.

The figure is up from the $106.7 billion valuation the company achieved in September and the $95 billion valuation it had in 2021.

Stripe also published its 2025 annual letter in which it detailed growth in payments and its Revenue suite that includes tools such as Stripe Billing, Invoicing and Tax.

The total volume generated by businesses running on Stripe increased 34% year over year in 2025 and reached $1.9 trillion, according to the update. The figure amounts to about 1.6% of global gross domestic product, the update said.

Stripe’s Revenue suite is set to reach an annual run rate of $1 billion this year, per the update.

“All in all, 2025 was a strong year for the internet economy, and we’re delighted to see so many of Stripe’s customers do so well,” Stripe co-founders Patrick Collison and John Collison said in the update.

Stripe prepared for agentic commerce during the year by developing the Agentic Commerce Protocol that provides a shared technical language for artificial intelligence platforms and business, launching the Agentic Commerce Suite that helps businesses sell across multiple AI interfaces and protocols, introducing Shared Payment Tokens that let agents initiate payments without exposing credentials, launching machine payments that enable developers to charge agents using stablecoin micropayments, and partnering with OpenAI and Microsoft to power shopping experiences in their AI assistants, according to the update.

“There’s no forecasting exactly where agentic commerce will be by the end of 2026, but it’s clear we’ve already moved well beyond pure hype into a phase of building and real-world experimentation,” Patrick and John Collison wrote in the annual letter. “The pace of change will likely only accelerate from here.”

On the stablecoin front, Stripe saw its stablecoin orchestration platform, Bridge, more than quadruple its stablecoin payments volume, per the update.

Stripe also acquired Privy, which powers more than 110 million programmable wallets, and collaborated with Paradigm to develop Tempo, a blockchain purpose-built for payments.

“Stablecoin payments are advancing quietly and inexorably as real-world uptake continues apace,” Patrick and John Collison wrote in the annual letter.
