OnlyFans is in exclusive talks to sell a majority stake to Architect Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm that focuses on technology, in a deal reported to be worth about $5.5 billion. The discussions are ongoing and terms have not been finalised.
If completed, the transaction would place OnlyFans ahead of rivals such as Substack and Patreon in valuation. The company has reportedly discussed a potential initial public offering as early as 2028.
OnlyFans reported $7.22 billion in gross revenue and $684 million in pre-tax profit for fiscal year 2024, reflecting profitability from its direct-to-fan subscription model and its role as a monetisation platform for creators.
The company is pursuing diversification beyond adult content to broaden its appeal and address regulatory concerns, seeking to attract a wider range of creators and subscribers.
Architect Capital’s investment is expected to provide resources to accelerate growth, improve user experience and payment processing security, and develop features aimed at helping creators increase earnings and engagement.
The proposed deal would mark a significant step in OnlyFans’ evolution from a niche service to a larger content platform, potentially opening new market opportunities for creators and investors.
