FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-11-13
A "floor-by-floor" diagram maps Stripe's business: from payments (Checkout, Elements, Link) up through risk & POS, revenue, banking, an agentic commerce suite with machine payments protocol, to stablecoins on top — all built on Tempo, a blockchain co-incubated with Paradigm (mainnet 2026).
The acquisition side lists 9 deals: Paystack (2020, $200M+), bbpos, TaxJar, lemon squeezy, Metronome, Bridge (2024, $1.1B), privy, plus pending OpenRouter and orum. Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in payments in 2025.
