Recent public filings from Companies House in the UK show Nvidia’s investment arm, NVentures, put about $196 million (£145 million) into Revolut last year. The filing indicates NVentures owns roughly 141,834 shares.
With that funding, Revolut held onto its $75 billion price tag, which puts it among the most highly valued privately held tech companies in Europe. The valuation happened during a secondary sale of Revolut shares in 2025.
Most of this funding came from a secondary sale, meaning it wasn’t Revolut raising fresh capital for day-to-day business. Instead, current shareholders and staff sold off some of their own stakes. A number of big-name investors also joined in, such as Coatue, Greenoaks, Dragoneer, Fidelity, Andreessen Horowitz, Franklin Templeton, and T. Rowe Price.
Revolut’s Crypto Ambitions
While Nvidia has not publicly disclosed any investment explicitly linked to crypto, this transaction nonetheless could strengthen Revolut’s position in Europe’s regulated digital asset market in a few ways.
For instance, it gives Revolut greater institutional credibility. Having established deep-pocketed backers and a clear history of good decision-making tends to make a company look more appealing to other institutional investors. That extra credibility can go a long way.
Revolut already had some notable backers, and now with NVentures on board, the licensed digital bank gets a big boost in trustworthiness as it rolls out more regulated services, like crypto trading. While this doesn’t guarantee its success in the crypto industry, it does make users feel much safer about trusting the platform with their money.
Does This Strengthen Revolut’s Position Under MiCA?
The news may also give Revolut a stronger hand under Europe’s crypto rules. MiCA is making all crypto companies follow the same set of rules around licenses, management, reserves, and reporting, which could work in Revolut’s favor.
Namely, the company has put in years of work building up its regulated banking business across Europe, and it keeps pushing into new markets. Just a few days ago, Revolut secured preliminary clearance for crypto offerings in the UAE, proving it’s serious about offering regulated crypto services on a global scale.
Even though Nvidia’s investment doesn’t directly affect licensing, stronger financial backing and advanced AI capabilities may make it easier for Revolut to scale crypto products while keeping up with today’s demanding financial regulatory requirements.
