Major Buyback Program Announced
Blockchain payments firm Ripple has launched a share buyback worth up to $750 million, valuing the company at approximately $50 billion.
The tender offer will allow employees and early investors to sell shares back to the company, with the buyback program expected to run through April.
The move follows a previous attempt by Ripple to repurchase $1 billion in shares at a $40 billion valuation in late 2025.
Expansion Strategy Continues
Ripple has increasingly expanded beyond its original payments business through acquisitions and investments.
Last year, the company acquired prime brokerage Hidden Road for about $1.25 billion and purchased stablecoin platform Rail for roughly $200 million. Ripple has said it has invested around $4 billion across the crypto ecosystem.
Despite its scale, Ripple has indicated it does not currently plan to pursue an initial public offering, instead focusing on private expansion and strategic acquisitions.
