Stripe Hits $159 Billion Valuation as Payment Volume Soars

Stripe Inc., which helps businesses accept payments online, has reached a $159 billion valuation in an employee tender offer, co-founder and president John Collison said in an interview.

That valuation is up from the $106.7 billion Stripe secured last year, underscoring its staying power as one of fintech’s most valuable companies even as it keeps investors waiting for any public market debut. There are no imminent plans for a public listing, Collison said.
