According to Bloomberg, Ant International, the overseas business subsidiary of Ant Group, is seeking approximately $1 billion in funding to accelerate growth, with an estimated valuation of $10 billion or higher. Potential investors include existing shareholders General Atlantic and Silver Lake, though no final decision has been made.
If the funding succeeds, it will help Ant International prepare for a potential Hong Kong listing as soon as this year, which would restart the IPO process halted by Chinese regulators in 2020. Ant International generated $3 billion in revenue in 2024 and recorded around 25% growth in 2025.
