What happened?
On September 4, 2025, Reuters reported that Revolut, the UK-based fintech giant, has launched a program to repurchase up to 10% of shares from existing investors.
Offer price: $865.42 per share.
Current valuation: Around $45 billion (based on the 2024 secondary funding round).
Future target: Potential valuation of $75 billion in upcoming fundraising.
Strategic move: Revolut is also negotiating with major funds such as Greenoaks Capital to bring in fresh capital.
In plain terms: Revolut is doing a financial “spring cleaning.” By buying back a portion of its shares, it tightens its ownership structure, then plans to invite new investors at a higher valuation.
A Simple Analogy
Imagine a small group of friends runs a coffee shop together. Over time, one or two friends want to cash out. If you allow outsiders to buy those shares, you risk losing influence over your own shop. So instead, you buy back those shares, keep the ownership clean, and later bring in a major investor to expand into a chain.
That’s exactly what Revolut is doing: consolidating first, then expanding with fresh capital.
