The Information disclosed the numbers and SaaStr broke them down July 23: $6.8B revenue up 33%, $2B in Q1 2026 alone, $1.9T total payment volume up 34%, 0.36% net take rate, free cash flow $3.2B (up 52%) for a 47% FCF margin. A "Rule of 80" company at $159B, or 23x revenue. The growth re-acceleration at that scale is attributed largely to processing payments for AI companies including OpenAI and Anthropic, which means the AI boom's revenue is flowing through Stripe's rails as a second-order effect. Also reported: a $53B bid for PayPal.
