alt Hacker NewsI really do not grasp business when PayPal is somehow worth over $50 Billion
It doesn't have assets? It's not a bank
Is it because PayPal is integrated already into so many websites?
Wouldn't it take decades to make back $50 Billion in fees?

Doesn't PayPal confiscate your money if you forget to withdraw it in time?

According to Wikipedia they hold $80 billion in assets.
They also hold a lot of financial data of its users, which is certainly worth more than anything that could ever make sense to my pleb brain.
If you look at their financials, they’re clearly making money. In 2025 they had 33B in revenue with a net income of 5.2B
