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.

Q3 Selected stock prices according to “Valuation at Market©”

The rules for “Valuation at Market©” are based on the PRE IPO CLUB LLC proprietary methodology: price inputs are derived from the 10 most active secondary brokers during the quarter, as well as publicly available information, such as federal filings (e.g., Form D), state filings (e.g., amendments to Certificates of Incorporation, Limited Offering Exemption Notices, Employee Plan Exemption Notices), and company disclosures (e.g., press releases, other public statements). The calculation model is based on actual or derived prices of preferred stock and common stock, which are validated by the fund manager. Corporate actions, such as bankruptcies, stock splits, reorganizations, mergers and acquisitions, and spinoffs, are monitored on a daily basis. Index values are calculated for each calendar month but distributed on a quarterly basis, before the last day of each January, April, July, and October.
