Stripe's AI Evolution and Market Dynamics

In a rare interview, Stripe CEO John Collison sits down with Andrew Ross Sorkin. At 15 years old, the payments company is worth $91.5 billion, but it’s still private. In part, Stripe has avoided going public thanks to tender offers it periodically offers employees and shareholders. In its most recent tender offer, Stripe revealed $1.4 trillion in total payment volume in 2024, and Collison explains that AI, including OpenAI, Perplexity, and over 700 AI agents using Stripe have helped grow the company. In a special, extended conversation, Stripe CEO discusses the company’s future, the utility of stablecoins, and the next era of AI innovation.
