Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Fund Eyes $100M Stake in Crypto-Friendly Revolut

Mubadala Investment Company, Abu Dhabi's $276 billion sovereign wealth fund, is negotiating a $100 million secondary share purchase in Revolut. The London-based neobank, which offers integrated cryptocurrency trading alongside traditional banking services, was last valued at $45 billion during a 2023 insider share sale.

The potential investment follows Mubadala's previous participation in Revolut founder Nik Storonsky's $400 million private share placement. Market sources indicate the shares WOULD likely be acquired from early investors like Balderton Capital seeking partial liquidity. Revolut's cap table already includes SoftBank Vision Fund and Tiger Global Management.

With 60 million global users and dominance in European fintech app rankings, Revolut represents Mubadala's strategic focus on financial infrastructure plays. The deal would deepen Abu Dhabi's exposure to embedded crypto services through one of Europe's most valuable private fintechs.
