Airwallex Rejected Stripe Offer, Now Competes Globally
Airwallex founder Jack Zhang says he declined a past $1.2 billion acquisition proposal from Stripe and has since built the company into a global payments infrastructure provider. Airwallex now claims more than $1.3 billion in annualized revenue, ~85% year-over-year growth, and is processing roughly $300 billion in annualized transaction volume. The company holds close to 90 financial licenses across 50 markets and offers capabilities such as local currency balances, card issuance and treasury-like services that can reduce FX costs for merchants. Airwallex was valued at about $8 billion in December and projects ~$2 billion in revenue within a year; Stripe was valued at $159 billion in a recent tender and processed $1.9 trillion in 2025. Airwallex is expanding into the U.S. and rolling out AI-powered autonomous finance products while positioning itself as infrastructure-first relative to Stripe.
Stripe's Valuation Jumps 74% to $159 Billion Amid Growth
Stripe announced a secondary tender offer that values the company at $159 billion, a roughly 74% increase from the $91.5 billion valuation reported in February 2025. Investors participating in the share purchase include Thrive Capital, Coatue, Andreessen Horowitz, and Stripe itself. In its founders' annual letter, Stripe reported that stablecoin payment volume doubled to about $400 billion in 2025, estimating 60% of that volume came from B2B payments. Stripe highlighted recent crypto-focused moves — acquiring crypto wallet service Privy in July, unveiling its own payments blockchain Tempo in September, and integrating the acquired stablecoin orchestration platform Bridge (whose volume reportedly more than quadrupled). The announcement was timed with the Collison brothers' letter summarizing product releases and usage trends over the year.
