Notes

Payments infrastructure company; bought OpenRouter for over $7B to make model routing and token metering a billing primitive for AI products. Forge Global's secondary-market price implied a $184.4B valuation on 2026-10-01, up from the $159B February tender - a secondary-venue mark rather than a round, so the map keeps the tender figure. The OpenRouter deal is still not confirmed closed by either party 45 days after it was agreed.
