OnlyFans is in exclusive talks to sell a majority stake to Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm that specializes in technology, in a deal that could value the subscription platform at $5.5 billion. Architect Capital is reportedly considering an initial public offering for OnlyFans by 2028 as part of a plan to expand the company’s reach and revenue streams.
Since its launch, OnlyFans has allowed creators, notably in adult entertainment, to monetize directly from subscribers. The platform has faced scrutiny from financial service providers because of its adult content, but it has remained profitable. In fiscal 2024 OnlyFans reported gross revenues of $7.22 billion and a pre-tax profit of $684 million.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the acquisition talks. Industry observers say Architect Capital’s interest signals confidence in OnlyFans’ growth prospects and a willingness to manage regulatory and operational challenges tied to the business.
A planned public offering would provide OnlyFans with additional capital and broader market credibility, potentially strengthening its position against competitors such as Substack and Patreon. The timeline to 2028 reflects an emphasis on building operational capacity and regulatory compliance ahead of a listing.
The negotiations highlight continued investor appetite for subscription-based platforms and suggest OnlyFans is preparing to scale its business model while addressing longstanding industry perceptions and compliance issues.
