Fintech company Revolut has granted founder-chief executive Nikolay Storonsky an incentive package that could hand him shares worth several billion dollars if the London-based group’s valuation climbs to about $150 billion, according to people familiar with the terms. The award, structured before a 2021 SoftBank-led funding round, would increase Storonsky’s stake in stages as the private company clears preset valuation hurdles. Revolut is currently valued at roughly $45 billion following a secondary share sale late last year. Should the firm more than triple that figure, Storonsky could receive stock equivalent to as much as 10 percent of the company, on top of the more than 25 percent he already controls. Investors liken the arrangement to the performance-based package Tesla granted Elon Musk in 2018, which became the largest compensation deal in U.S. corporate history and later the subject of shareholder litigation. The outsized incentive underscores investor confidence in Revolut’s growth trajectory. In 2024 the neobank more than doubled pre-tax profit to £1 billion and surpassed 50 million customers, buoyed by rising card-payment fees, interest income and renewed enthusiasm for crypto trading. The company also secured a long-sought U.K. banking licence, a milestone executives say will support expansion into additional markets ahead of a potential initial public offering.
