Revolut hits $115 billion valuation in employee share sale: WSJ
Fintech firm Revolut has reached a $115 billion valuation following an internal employee share sale, making it Europe's most valuable private company. The firm continues to expand its global footprint, including significant growth in its crypto trading services and banking license acquisitions.
Why it matters
Revolut's massive valuation underscores the growing dominance of digital-first banking platforms and their increasing integration of cryptocurrency services into traditional financial ecosystems.
The company priced shares at $2,017 each, according to an internal message from CEO Nik Storonsky reported by The Wall Street Journal . The transaction allows employees and other existing shareholders to sell stock rather than raising new capital for Revolut.
The valuation has more than doubled from $45 billion in 2024 and makes Revolut Europe’s most valuable private company, representing a major rise from the $75 billion valuation seen in November last year.
It also puts the firm above rival banking giants like Barclays’ roughly $95 billion market value, though with the caveat that Revolut’s price is based on a private transaction whose size has not been disclosed.
Revolut reported $2.3 billion in pre-tax profit for 2025 , up 57%, as revenue rose 46% to $6 billion. Its customer base has since passed 75 million.
