OnlyFans, the subscription-based online platform infamous for hosting explicit content, is on the cusp of a massive sale. According to reports by TechCrunch, the Los Angeles-based company is in talks with Architect Capital, a San Francisco investment firm, to offload around 60% of its stake.
The proposed deal is worth approximately $5.5 billion, with $3.5 billion allocated as equity and $2 billion earmarked for debt. This valuation represents a significant drop from the potential sale that fell through last year, which was reportedly valued at $8 billion.
This latest development comes on the heels of OnlyFans' growing revenue, which saw a nine percent increase in its 2024 fiscal year to over $7.2 billion. The platform, still attempting to rebrand itself beyond its adult content offerings, has been expanding its user base and improving its overall performance.
As onlyfans is now in exclusive talks with architect capital it cannot negotiate with other potential buyers for a certain amount of time. This deal, however, remains far from being finalized, as no set timeline has been announced yet.
