Stripe is planning a tender offer to buy back shares held by current employees, using its own cash. The company is offering $27.51 per share, which implies a valuation of $70 billion. This move reflects Stripe's fast-growing profits, as evidenced by its Q2 free cash flow of $615 million. The decision to self-finance the buyback is seen as a strategy to retain employees by providing liquidity without going public.
Stripe is never gonna go public huh?
