Stripe's founders have repeatedly signaled a strong preference for remaining private, citing the January 2026 onset of what they term "the singularity" as a period best navigated without public-market pressures, enabling acquisitions like the $8 billion-plus OpenRouter deal and potential PayPal consolidation without share dilution. Robust fundamentals, including 41% first-half 2026 revenue growth and 43% free-cash-flow expansion alongside $1.9 trillion in 2025 payment volume, support the $159 billion February 2026 tender valuation while reducing any urgency for an IPO. With no S-1 filed and explicit statements that going public is not a near-term priority, trader consensus embeds elevated odds on delayed or no listing through 2027, alongside dispersed market-cap probabilities that reflect uncertainty over post-listing pricing amid ongoing M&A and competitive positioning in payments and AI infrastructure.

If no such IPO occurs by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No IPO by December 31, 2027".
Market capitalization expresses the monetary value of a company’s outstanding shares, stated in its pricing currency.
It is calculated as the total number of outstanding shares, multiplied by the official closing share price of the publicly traded class on the first trading day.
If necessary, to accurately capture the company’s total market capitalization, rather than a stock-class-specific market capitalization, the calculation will include all outstanding share classes and apply any stated conversion ratios to the publicly traded class. Where no conversion right exists, such shares will be counted at their stated outstanding amount without discount, unless official filings explicitly specify differently.
The number of outstanding shares will be determined from official company filings or disclosures (e.g., SEC filings). The closing share price on the first trading day will be determined from the primary exchange’s official listing page.
If the relevant value falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official company filings and the primary exchange’s official listing page. The market capitalization will be determined through appropriate calculation using the total outstanding shares and the closing price from the first day of trading.
In the event of an interruption in the normal trading session on the specified company’s first day of trading (e.g., a circuit breaker or half-day), the market will resolve according to the official closing price of the abbreviated session. If no such official closing price is published, the market will resolve according to the next trading day on which an official closing price is published, treating that day as the first day of trading for the purposes of this market.
