OnlyFans Plans to Sell Minority Stake at Over $3 Billion Valuation
OnlyFans, the platform that has become a global phenomenon in the paid content industry, is in the final stages of negotiations to sell a minority stake. According to financial analysts and business media reports, the potential buyer is the American investment firm Architect Capital. The deal is expected to be based on a total business valuation of over $3 billion, with less than 20% of the company’s shares up for sale.
Despite the influx of external investment, strategic control of the platform will remain with the family trust. This decision is aimed at ensuring business stability following the sudden passing of the company’s owner, Leonid Radvinsky, in March 2026. Architect Capital’s entry into the equity is viewed not only as a financial injection but also as a partnership to develop new banking and financial services designed to help content creators simplify revenue management.
The platform’s financial performance confirms its status as one of the world’s most profitable digital businesses. For the reported period, OnlyFans paid out a record $701 million in dividends, made possible by steady revenue growth and an increase in active users to 377 million. To date, the company demonstrates high profitability, maintaining a 20% commission on all transactions between creators and subscribers, the total volume of which has exceeded $7 billion annually.
