OnlyFans has sold a 16% minority stake to Architect Capital weeks after the death of founder Sergei Radvinsky. The deal values the British platform at approximately $3.15 billion.
OnlyFans, the subscription-based content platform predominantly known for adult material, completed the stake sale to investment firm Architect Capital. The transaction marks a significant development for the company following Radvinsky's recent passing.
The $3.15 billion valuation represents a major milestone for OnlyFans, which has grown substantially since its 2016 launch. The platform enables creators to monetize content through subscriber payments and tips, attracting users across various categories beyond adult content.
Architect Capital's investment signals continued investor confidence in OnlyFans' business model despite regulatory scrutiny and content moderation challenges the platform has faced. The sale of a minority stake suggests the company is exploring external capital while maintaining operational control.
OnlyFans generates revenue through taking a commission on creator earnings. The platform has reported significant growth in creator payouts and user base expansion over recent years, though exact financial details remain private as the company is not publicly listed.
