Executive Summary

Stripe is a private company and does not publicly disclose revenue, valuation or customer counts in SEC filings. The figures Stripe does officially disclose appear in its annual letter and newsroom updates, primarily as total payment volume (TPV) and enterprise adoption references. This article reproduces only what Stripe itself has published. No revenue, valuation, or customer-count figure is presented because Stripe has not officially disclosed these.

Quick Overview

  • Stripe’s 2024 total payment volume was $1.4 trillion, up 38% year-on-year, equivalent to around 1.3% of global GDP (source: Stripe 2024 update – newsroom).
  • Stripe’s 2025 annual letter states that businesses on Stripe generated $1.9 trillion in 2025, equivalent to 1.6% of global GDP (source: Stripe 2025 annual letter).
  • Stripe is used by half of the Fortune 100, 80% of the Forbes Cloud 100, and 78% of the Forbes AI 50 (source: Stripe 2024 update – newsroom).
  • Stripe does not publicly disclose revenue, EBITDA, valuation or a customer count; those figures are not reproduced here.
  • The Stripe annual letter is published by cofounders Patrick and John Collison and is the primary official source for TPV figures (source: Stripe 2025 annual letter).
  • Stripe’s product documentation is the authoritative source for current product capabilities and pricing (source: Stripe documentation).

Total Payment Volume

Stripe’s 2024 update, published February 27, 2025, stated that Stripe processed $1.4 trillion in total payment volume in 2024, up 38% from the prior year, equivalent to around 1.3% of global GDP (source: Stripe 2024 update). The update also reported that Forbes saw a 23% boost in revenue with Stripe managing its subscription payments, and that Hertz increased authorization rates by 4% when it moved its payments to Stripe. Stripe’s 2025 annual letter states that businesses on Stripe generated $1.9 trillion in 2025, equivalent to 1.6% of global GDP (source: Stripe 2025 annual letter). These are the only TPV figures Stripe has officially disclosed for those years. We do not extrapolate beyond them or present any 2026 figure as fact, because Stripe has not yet published a 2026 TPV number.

Enterprise Adoption

Stripe’s 2024 update states that Stripe is used by half of the Fortune 100, 80% of the Forbes Cloud 100, and 78% of the Forbes AI 50 (source: Stripe 2024 update). The update named NVIDIA, PepsiCo, NewsCorp and Comcast as examples of large businesses that have adopted Stripe. The update also reported that Hertz increased authorization rates by 4% when it moved its payments to Stripe, and that Turo captured $114 million in additional annual revenue with Stripe’s Optimized Checkout Suite. We do not report a total customer count because Stripe does not officially disclose one. Enterprise adoption references describe which named lists Stripe appears on, not a census of all Stripe users.

What Stripe Does Not Disclose

Because Stripe is a private company, it does not file audited financial statements with the SEC. Stripe does not officially disclose revenue, EBITDA, net income, valuation, or a total customer count. Any such figure presented without a direct Stripe source should be treated as unverified. The Stripe 2024 update mentioned that “durable profitability” underpins the company’s investments, but did not disclose specific profitability figures. The Collison cofounders stated that Stripe has reinvested a higher proportion of earnings in R&D than any comparable company in each of the last six years. This article does not reproduce revenue, valuation or customer-count estimates from third parties. The Stripe 2024 update also noted that Stripe continues to invest heavily in R&D, including stablecoins and AI, and that its growth is evidence of intense market demand for programmable financial services.

Private Company Disclosure Context

Stripe publishes selected operating milestones, but it is not a public company and does not provide the same disclosure package as a listed software vendor. This article therefore treats payment volume and official adoption references as usable facts, while excluding revenue, profitability, valuation, and customer-count claims that are not published by Stripe itself.

Methodology and Limitations

  • Stripe is a private company; no revenue, EBITDA, valuation or customer-count figure is reproduced.
  • Only figures from Stripe’s own annual letter and newsroom are used; third-party estimates are excluded.
  • TPV figures are reported for the years Stripe has officially disclosed (2024 and 2025); no 2026 figure is presented as fact.
  • “Generated $1.9 trillion” reflects the total value processed by businesses on Stripe, which Stripe itself defines; it is not a revenue figure.
