Revolut Achieves $115 Billion Valuation in Share Sale
Revolut has reached a valuation of $115 billion following a secondary share sale, according to The Wall Street Journal. The valuation marks a 53% increase from last year and is bolstered by the company's profitability and customer growth.

Revolut, a digital banking platform, has recorded a valuation of $115 billion due to a secondary share sale. This transaction allows existing shareholders, including employees, to sell their stock rather than raising new capital. The company’s shares were priced at $2,017 each, as reported in an internal message from CEO Nikolay Storonsky.
The latest valuation is noteworthy as it positions Revolut as Europe’s most valuable private company, surpassing major banking competitors like Barclays, which is valued at approximately $95 billion. This increase is significant, doubling from its previous valuation of $45 billion in 2024 and up from $75 billion in November of last year.
Revolut exhibited strong performance in 2025, reporting a pre-tax profit of $2.3 billion, an increase of 57%, alongside a revenue surge of 46% to $6 billion. The user base now exceeds 75 million customers. The company offers its users the ability to trade more than 200 cryptocurrencies, transfer assets to external wallets, and stake holdings through its main app. Additionally, it operates its own dedicated cryptocurrency exchange, Revolut X.
As a sign of its growth trajectory, Revolut secured a full banking license in the U.K. earlier this year and is actively pursuing a national banking charter in the United States. The company has expressed aspirations for an initial public offering (IPO) with a potential valuation goal of $200 billion, underscoring its ambition to expand further in the financial landscape.
While the valuation reflects a strong private transaction, its implications in public markets remain to be seen. As Revolut continues to grow and evolve in the digital banking sector, industry observers will closely monitor its movement toward launching an IPO and its ongoing regulatory engagements.
