Stripe and private equity firm Advent International make a joint offer to acquire PayPal Holdings for about $53 billion, multiple outlets report citing sources. The proposal is described as valuing PayPal at roughly $53.0 billion to $53.4 billion, with a per-share price of $60.50. Several reports say the $60.50 offer represents about a 28% premium versus PayPal’s closing share price on Tuesday. The bid is also described as including substantial financing support: reports characterize it as backed by around $50 billion in committed bank financing. The offer is said to have been submitted earlier this month, and news of the bid leads to a sharp rise in PayPal’s shares in premarket trading and after the announcement, according to outlets referencing market moves. While the reports consistently describe the offer price, premium, and financing backing, they do not provide additional confirmed details on timing, regulatory review, or deal structure beyond the joint ownership involving Stripe and Advent. PayPal has not been reported as formally responding in the provided summaries.
