OpenRouter, an artificial intelligence model router company, has reportedly finalized a deal to be acquired by Stripe for over $7 billion, as per a Bloomberg report.

The company claims to handle weekly throughput of 25 trillion tokens, with its annualized revenue reaching around $50 million as of March 2025. Stripe, which has not confirmed nor denied the report, sees this acquisition as a strategic move to enhance its infrastructure offerings and gain a foothold in the AI model routing market.
