Stripe valuation history by year, 2011–2026
Stripe’s latest sourced valuation is $159 billion in 2026, implied by a company tender (agreements signed). The chart shows at most one observation per year from 2011 to 2026. Financing rounds, tender offers, 409A appraisals, secondary trades, and market signals measure different things, so each figure keeps its label.

method
Each row is a discrete observation, not an interpolated annual estimate. The compact chart selects one point per year by a fixed evidence order: financing or tender with signed, confirmed, or completed terms; internal 409A mark; completed investor secondary; then reported or unfinalized financing and market indications. Within a tier, the chart prefers the stronger transaction status, then the higher confidence, then the more authoritative source, then a stated figure over an inferred one, then the later observation date. Missing years stay missing, and the chart never carries a prior value forward.
Pre-money, post-money, transaction-implied, common-stock 409A, and market-indication values remain labeled separately. Approximate and inferred figures preserve their qualifiers. The bars use a linear scale from zero to the largest selected value; labels show the sourced nominal values.
Annual payment and total volume remain on the volume record. Company net-revenue and revenue disclosures remain on the net-revenue record.
