A Klarna investor has raised the valuation it assigns to the BNPL giant, giving it an implied price tag of $14.6 billion ahead of a widely anticipated 2025 IPO.
According to a report from Bloomberg, citing company filings, Chrysalis Investments increased the value of its stake from £100.3 million to £120.6 million. This implied valuation of $14.6 billion is more than double the $6.7 billion valuation Klarna received in a 2022 funding round amid a broader tech downturn. However, it remains significantly lower than its peak 2021 valuation of $46 billion.
The increase in assigned value was influenced by the rising share prices of other BNPL providers such as Affirm and PayPal. Chrysalis stated that it anticipates Klarna will go public in the first half of 2025.
