Antfin has sold it’s final remaining 5.84% stake in Paytm.
- Deal has been executed in open market at Rs 1,020/ share aggregating Rs 3,800 cr.
- Antfin was the last remaining Chinese shareholder, and now Paytm will no longer have any Chinese ownership. This would possibly also looked favorably by the Indian regulators.
Ant’s exit was widely anticipated and hence this current transaction helps removing a significant overhang over the Paytm’s stock price.
With the exit of Antfin, Paytm’s pre-IPO ownership has seen a significant churn. Major early backers, including Alibaba, SoftBank, and Berkshire Hathaway, have all exited fully over the past two years. Elevation Capital (formerly SAIF Partners) now stands as the only significant pre-IPO investor still holding a stake of 15.4% as of June 2025.
