Revolut is negotiating a new incentive package for CEO and co-founder Nik Storonsky tied to a $500 billion valuation milestone, according to Financial Times sources. The fintech giant, currently valued at $115 billion following its latest secondary funding round, is discussing the staged compensation scheme while still pursuing a $200 billion IPO target. Storonsky currently owns approximately 29% of the company and holds an existing incentive deal that would increase his stake to 40% once Revolut reaches $200 billion, potentially worth $80 billion. The new proposal would follow the same blueprint of share payouts triggered at predetermined valuation thresholds. Revolut’s valuation has surged rapidly from $45 billion in 2024 to its current level, though both milestone targets remain distant. The company, which serves 75 million customers across 40 countries and posted £1.7 billion pre-tax profit on £4.5 billion revenue last year, continues expanding its global banking footprint with licenses secured or pending in key markets.

European fintech valuations are reaching US tech-style heights, signaling investor confidence in Revolut’s growth trajectory may justify aggressive pre-IPO positioning despite current valuations remaining far below incentive thresholds.
