Ant International is considering a $1 billion fundraising round. This capital injection could value the division at $10 billion or more.
The company has started discussions with existing shareholders General Atlantic and Silver Lake. These funds will support accelerated global growth.
This funding serves as a precursor to a potential Hong Kong IPO as early as this year. The move signals a restart of the public listing process after regulators halted the 2020 IPO.
Ant International now operates with an independent board following its regulatory restructuring.
