Methodology & status definitions
How each row is labelled and calculated.
Closed round
A priced primary round Stripe announced as signed. Stripe states a valuation but not whether it is pre- or post-money, so the chart shows the valuation as stated.
Reported talks
A valuation reported by the press for a transaction Stripe has not confirmed, attributed to the outlet. Not a valuation Stripe has stated.
Tender
A tender offer for current and former employees’ shares at a valuation Stripe announced, funded mostly by investors with part repurchased by Stripe. No new primary capital; sizes were not disclosed.
Valuation ÷ run-rate
Valuation ÷ the run-rate revenue the company stated in that round’s announcement (GNF calc.). Stripe has not stated company revenue or a run-rate in these announcements (the 2026 letter gives a $1B run-rate for its Revenue suite only), so no multiples are shown.
What is not a separate row
Rounds before the Series H (2021). Sequoia’s 2024 purchase of Stripe shares from its own limited partners at $70B (reported by Axios) is not a Stripe transaction. Secondary-market platform prices and internal 409A marks other than the one reported with the Sept 2025 talks are not included.
