💰 Ripple Launches $750M Share Buyback at $50B Valuation Ripple has launched a $750 million share buyback program through a tender offer targeting early investors and employees. According to Bloomberg, the deal values the company at around $50 billion, representing a 25% increase from its $40 billion valuation just four months earlier. The tender offer runs until April 2026 and allows participants to sell shares at approximately $143.43 per share, compared with about $125 in late 2025. Ripple’s valuation has risen dramatically over the past two years. In January 2024, the company repurchased $285 million worth of shares at a valuation of $11.3 billion, meaning its implied value has increased more than fourfold since then. Part of this growth has been driven by strategic acquisitions. In 2025, Ripple acquired prime brokerage platform Hidden Road for $1.25 billion and treasury management provider GTreasury for $1 billion. These deals expanded Ripple’s business beyond payments into a broader institutional financial infrastructure. Despite the rising valuation, Ripple leadership — including CEO Brad Garlinghouse — has reiterated that there are no immediate plans for an IPO. Instead, the company continues to provide liquidity to early stakeholders through controlled share buyback programs.
