The company reported strong 2025 performance, with a $2.3 billion pretax profit, $6 billion in revenue. The company’s main app lets its users trade more than 200 crypto tokens, transfer assets to external wallets and stake holdings, while the firm also manages its own standalone crypto exchange called Revolut X. Revolut recently secured a full U.K. banking license and is pursuing a U.S. national bank charter, with IPO valuation targets reaching $200 billion. Crypto-friendly digital bank Revolut has been valued at $115 billion in a secondary share sale, lifting the company’s valuation by 53% in less than a year. The company priced shares at $2,017 each, according to an internal message from CEO Nik Storonsky reported by The Wall Street Journal . The transaction allows employees and other existing shareholders to sell stock rather than raising new capital for Revolut. The valuation has more than doubled from $45 billion in 2024 and makes Revolut Europe’s most valuable private company, representing a major rise from the $75 billion valuation seen in November last year. It also puts the firm above rival banking giants like Barclays’ roughly $95 billion market value, though with the caveat that Revolut’s price is based on a private transaction whose size has not been disclosed. Revolut reported $2.3 billion in pre-tax profit for 2025 , up 57%, as revenue rose 46% to $6 billion. Its customer base has since passed 75 million.

It has also discussed seeking a valuation of as much as $200 billion in a future IPO .
