Revolut founders Nik Storonsky and Vlad Yatsenko stand to see their personal fortunes multiply if the fintech giant proceeds with a share award priced at a $500 billion valuation, according to reports from Cityam.
The proposed equity grant represents a staggering re-rating for the British digital bank, which has seen its private-market value climb steadily over recent months.
Prior to that transaction, in late July, Revolut had reached a milestone valuation of €100 billion.
The $500 billion figure, if realized, would place Revolut among the most valuable technology companies globally, rivaling established giants in the US and Asia.
This potential valuation surge follows a rapid ascent in Revolut's private market standing.
The company recently secured a private-market valuation of approximately US$115 billion through a secondary share sale, a move that saw it overtake Brazil's Nubank as the world's most valuable fintech company. Prior to that transaction, in late July, Revolut had reached a milestone valuation of €100 billion.
The jump from $115 billion to a potential $500 billion implies a significant shift in investor sentiment or a strategic decision to align founder incentives with a much higher long-term target.
Such a valuation would reflect expectations of dominant market share in digital banking, successful expansion into wealth management and crypto services, and a highly anticipated public listing.
