Ripple Labs is reportedly planning to buy back up to $750 million worth of shares from investors and employees through a tender offer expected to run until April.
The buyback programme would reportedly value the company at around $50 billion, representing a roughly 25% increase from the valuation assigned following its $500 million funding round in November 2025.
Ripple president Monica Long previously said the company had no plans to pursue a public listing after that funding round.
The reported buyback follows Ripple’s expansion beyond core crypto services, including its $1.2 billion acquisition of non-bank prime broker Hidden Road and treasury management platform GTreasury.
The company also recently moved forward with plans to obtain a financial services licence in Australia through the acquisition of a local payments firm.
Ripple said earlier this week that its network has processed more than $100 billion in transactions, while its stablecoin Ripple USD (RLUSD) surpassed a $1 billion market capitalisation since launching in December 2024.
Despite those developments, the price of XRP has declined more than 53% over the past six months and was trading around $1.39 at the time of publication.
At the time of reporting, XRP price was $1.39.
