If you’re not an accredited investor, keep reading to learn how you can gain exposure to Stripe’s upside…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Buy Stripe Stock as a Retail Investor? Is Stripe Publicly Traded?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Right now, you can\u2019t directly buy shares in Stripe on the stock market. This privilege is reserved for venture capital firms and accredited investors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the near future, however, it\u2019s likely that Stripe will go public. They have filed their intentions of an IPO with the SEC, but a date has not yet been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until the IPO, let\u2019s cover a few ways to get indirect exposure to Stripe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Owns Stripe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stripe has been funded by a total 51 investors. Early investors include Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a side note, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel also provided the startup capital for another successful venture \u2014 check out how to buy Open AI stock<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 publicly-traded companies within the payments industry also invested in Stripe during its early years: Visa and American Express.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Visa and Amex participated in the Series C funding round in 2014, when Stripe was worth only a few hundred million dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how we can benefit from their investments:<\/p>\n\n\n

Are Visa and Amex Publicly Traded?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How to Invest in Stripe Stock<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just to be clear \u2013 there is no Stripe stock symbol yet. Stripe announced that it intended to go public on the stock market, but has not released a date yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But buying Visa and\/or American Express may give you exposure to Stripe\u2019s upside. By buying the companies which own Stripe, any valuation leaps made by the fintech payment processor should be reflected in Visa\u2019s and Amex\u2019s stock prices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
