Polymarket funding rounds & valuation history
Polymarket’s funding from the 2024 Series B to the 2026 round talks, each labelled as a closed round or reported talks. The two ICE investments are sourced to ICE’s own announcements and SEC filings; the round totals and the $15B and $21B valuations come from the press and are labelled that way.
Round history

Methodology & status definitions
How each row is labelled and calculated.
Closed round
New money to Polymarket that a party to the deal confirmed (Polymarket, ICE or ICE’s SEC filings). Where only the press gives the valuation, the row says so.
Reported talks
A round reported by the press, or announced by an investor, that has not been confirmed closed. No step-up and no multiple.
Valuation ÷ run-rate
Valuation ÷ the run-rate the company stated in that announcement (GNF calc.). Polymarket’s annualized-revenue figures (over $1.8B, per Benzinga citing CNBC) were not stated in any round announcement, so no multiple is shown.
What is not a separate row
The $4M seed (2020) and the $25M Series A (date not disclosed). ICE’s ~$40M purchase of common shares from existing holders (April 2026 tender, ICE 10-Q). Token plans, acquisitions and secondary-market prices.
