Revolut Valued at $115 Billion in Employee Share Sale

By giving staff and existing holders liquidity, the deal sets a premium private-market benchmark ahead of a planned IPO no earlier than 2028.

Overview

  • A secondary employee share sale priced Revolut shares at $2,017 each and established a $115 billion private valuation that did not raise new capital for the company.
  • The secondary sale, which took place on Wednesday, July 22, let employees and other existing shareholders sell stock to outside buyers with the transaction size and buyer list undisclosed.
  • Revolut’s elevated price rests on strong 2025 results, including roughly $6 billion of revenue, $2.3 billion in pre-tax profit, and more than 75 million customers.
  • Regulatory wins — a full UK banking licence, EU MiCA crypto authorisation and ongoing U.S. national bank charter pursuit — underpin the growth case behind the private valuation.
  • Analysts warn the private benchmark uses high earnings multiples and that public markets will test that premium when Revolut eventually seeks an IPO and broader U.S. expansion.
