Berkshire Hathaway invests $330M in Bending Spoons
Berkshire Hathaway has invested over $900 million in Bending Spoons, a Milan-based software holding company, including a $330 million stake disclosed on Wednesday via a private placement of 10 million shares at $33 each. This follows a $600 million investment during Bending Spoons' IPO in July 2026, which raised about $1.7 billion at $29 per share. The market reacted positively, with shares surging up to 55% initially, though later stabilizing at a market cap of about $30 billion. Bending Spoons, known for acquiring struggling software startups at steep discounts, recently agreed to buy Miro for $1.36 billion and Airtable for $1.3 billion. The company reported Q2 2026 revenue of over $700 million and net income of $177 million. Co-founder Francesco Patarnello emphasized a strong M&A pipeline, with capital intended to enhance financial flexibility and pursue further acquisitions.
Bending Spoons to Acquire Miro for $1.4 Billion
Italian software group Bending Spoons has signed a definitive agreement to acquire whiteboard collaboration platform Miro in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of $1.355 billion (€1.7 billion), implying an equity value of approximately $1.79 billion including Miro's net cash. Some existing Miro shareholders have agreed to reinvest $295 million of their proceeds into newly issued Bending Spoons shares. The deal values Miro at less than 8% of its $17.5 billion valuation from a 2022 funding round. Bending Spoons plans to invest in Miro's performance and functionality, continuing its strategy of acquiring and streamlining software companies, with over 50 acquisitions including Eventbrite, Vimeo, and Airtable. Miro has an ARR of about $600 million, with nearly 90% from business and enterprise customers, serving over 250,000 organizations and nearly 4 million paying users. The transaction, pending regulatory approvals, is expected to close in Q4 2026, supporting Bending Spoons' expansion ahead of a potential Nasdaq IPO.
