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.

Valuation at each closed round

Closed rounds with a valuation only. Series D is ICE’s pre-investment figure; Series E is press-reported with basis not stated. The reported $21B round is not plotted.

Talks vs. closings

What was reported, and what a party to the deal confirmed, oldest first.

  1. 14 May 2024 · Closed

    Series B: $45M, led by Founders Fund.

  2. 24 Jun 2025 · Talks

    Reported: $200M at about $1B, led by Founders Fund. “Not yet final”.

  3. 7 Oct 2025 · Closed

    ICE invests $1B at about $8B pre-investment (up to $2B agreed).

  4. Mar–Apr 2026 · Closed

    Series E of about $1B at $15B, with $600M from ICE.

  5. 1 Sep 2026 · Talks

    1789 Capital says it is leading a $1B round at $21B; closing not yet reported.

Still private, not a subsidiary: Polymarket (Blockratize, Inc.) has not listed. ICE, which is public, holds about 22% of outstanding and 14% of fully diluted shares (ICE 10-Q, 30 Sep 2026) and accounts for the stake as an investment, not a subsidiary. Benzinga (Nov 2026) reports preparation for a possible 2027 IPO; that is not a filing and is not a row.

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.
