How to buy Stripe shares

Stripe has entered into a partnership with Salesforce (CRM), fueling rumors that the company is planning an IPO soon. The company is headquartered in San Fransisco and recently hired a new CFO, Dhivya Suryadevara.

This isn't the first time speculation has swirled that the company might be planning to go public. And as recently as August 2020, a company spokesperson insisted that an IPO was not in the works.

That said, Stripe sparked a flurry of early headlines in early 2021 after raising $600 million in a funding round that included Allianz, Axa, Fidelity and the National Treasury Management Agency of Ireland. News outlets report that the recent funding round values Stripe at a whopping $95 billion.

We'll update this page if any new information on a possible IPO is announced.
