MWC21 Keynote 3: Revolut
Nik Storonsky, Founder & CEO, presents during the session: ‘Networks for Change.’
www.mobileworldlive.comI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute news in this moment. Here’s a concise summary based on recent reporting up to now:
-
Nik Storonsky, co-founder and CEO of Revolut, has been in the news for delaying Revolut’s IPO beyond 2026, with discussions of a potential 2028 listing and a target valuation in the $150–$200 billion range. He has also indicated the firm may pursue liquidity via secondary sales before an eventual public listing, and Revolut has been expanding its banking footprint, including pursuing a US bank charter. These points have appeared in multiple outlets discussing Revolut’s strategy and Storonsky’s public statements .
-
Storonsky’s personal residence and tax status have been the subject of coverage, with reports noting a shift of residence to the United Arab Emirates following UK tax regime changes (non-domiciled status scrapped). He remains Revolut’s chief executive and a substantial shareholder. This theme has appeared in outlets discussing ultra-wealthy relocations driven by tax policy changes .
-
Historical context includes prior reporting on Revolut’s path to a UK banking licence and stock-market-related liquidity events, as well as Storonsky’s earlier public remarks about break-even moments and growth milestones (from older coverage). These provide background to current strategic moves but are not necessarily new developments .
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific timeframe (e.g., last 7–14 days) and pull the latest headlines.
- Filter for sources from particular outlets (e.g., Bloomberg, FT, The Guardian).
- Provide a brief timeline of key events related to Storonsky and Revolut’s fundraising, licensing, and IPO plans.
