Balderton Capital sells about $1 billion worth of Revolut shares, FT reports

(Reuters) -Balderton Capital, an early investor in London-based fintech firm Revolut, has sold shares worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the Financial Times reported on Friday.

The European venture capital firm has offloaded about $1 billion in recent deals, the report said, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not immediately verify the report and while Revolut declined to comment, Balderton Capital did not respond to a Reuters request for comment outside business hours.

Separately, Revolut has launched a tender offer to repurchase up to 10% of its shares from eligible investors at $865.42 apiece, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday, citing company documents.

This offer reflects Revolut’s $45 billion valuation achieved in a secondary share sale in 2024, according to the Bloomberg report.

Earlier this week, a source told Reuters that Revolut had initiated a secondary share sale, valuing the company at $75 billion as it seeks to expand and compete with major lenders.
