Bloomberg reported August 28 that the consortium abandoned its pursuit, with Reuters confirming the same day (Bloomberg). The offer was $60.50 a share, about $53 billion, against roughly $360 billion PayPal commanded in 2021; the board had called it inadequate while flagging regulatory and financing hurdles. Stripe just declined to buy payments distribution at an 85% discount to peak rather than keep building it.
