Hey there, market watchers! You know OnlyFans, right? The platform that completely disrupted the creator economy (and emptied more than a few wallets). Well, set the gossip aside for a moment, because we’re talking serious capital here.

It looks like the British giant is prepping a massive “package” for sale. According to the latest buzz, OnlyFans is in advanced talks to sell its majority stake to Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm.

Numbers That’ll Make Your Head Spin

We’re talking about the kind of figures that make any investor lean in:

• Total Valuation: The deal would value OnlyFans at approximately $5.5 billion (including debt).
• The “Slice” for Sale: Architect Capital is reportedly eyeing a 60% stake in the company, shelling out roughly $3.5 billion for the equity portion.
• A High-Growth Engine: Let’s not forget the platform is churning out nearly $1.6 billion in net annual revenue. Not too shabby for a site that started as a simple way to connect fans and creators, right?

Why Architect Capital?

This isn’t just a random pairing. The California firm specializes in managing businesses with complex infrastructures. One of the main goals? Solving the payment processing headaches for creators, who often face skepticism from traditional banks. Essentially, they want to make OnlyFans more “institutional-grade” and robust.

Destination: Wall Street 2028?

But here’s the real kicker for us finance geeks. Behind this restructuring lies an ambitious roadmap: taking OnlyFans public by 2028.

After years of raking in golden dividends (owner Leo Radvinsky has pocketed nearly a billion over the last two years), the strategy now seems to be cleaning up the shop for the public markets.
