Odaily Planet Daily reports that in its 2025 annual letter, Stripe stated that the platform generated $1.9 trillion in total transaction volume last year, a 34% increase compared to 2024, accounting for approximately 1.6% of global GDP. Programmable financial services directly or through the platform support over 5 million businesses, including many leading AI companies, 90% of the companies in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, 80% of the companies in the Nasdaq 100 Index, and approximately 25% of newly registered companies in Delaware (all created via Stripe Atlas). Link, as a simple online payment method, serves over 200 million users.
In addition, Stripe launched over 350 product updates throughout the year and completed two significant acquisitions: Privy, which supports over 110 million programmable wallets, and Metronome, which provides complex usage-based billing models for companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Confluent, and NVIDIA. Metronome has been integrated into the platform’s Revenue suite and is expected to generate $1 billion in annual revenue this year.
