The Irish Examiner reported on September 23, 2026 on the 2025 accounts of Stripe Payments International Holdings Ltd (SPIHL), a Dublin-based unit of Stripe that the paper described as the holding company for Stripe sales in the EMEA and APAC regions. In 2025, revenue rose 32.5% to $6.79bn from $5.12bn. Pre-tax profit rose 337% to $445.5m from $101.8m, which the paper also gave as EUR390.3m.

The paper reported a corporation tax charge of $46.88m and post-tax profit of $398.69m. It said profit took account of non-cash depreciation and amortisation of $66.35m and a foreign exchange loss of $71.73m. Headcount rose by 646, from 2,208 to 2,854. The article said revenue was boosted by new or expanded partnerships with Currys, Mercari, Zip, Volkswagen and Gradium, and reported a dividend of $467.2m paid in May to the immediate US parent, Stripe Laboratories Inc. These are the accounts of one subsidiary, not of Stripe Inc as a whole.

Revenue scale

Filed accounts for the EMEA and APAC holding company put 2025 revenue at $6.79bn, a statutory figure rather than a press estimate.
