Stripe would lock in volume but how exactly are they monetizing that? Any margin the get from OpenRouter is money extracted from OpenRouter’s revenue (which is now theirs.)

7 billion one off for 100 billion annually? If I am understanding that correctly it feels like a no brainer to me…

Also if you think about it differently… OpenRouter is adjacent to what Stripe is but for getting access to AI models. If they dont mess this up they could invest in openerouter and grow that 100b pie.

I think volume is itself good and help Stripe negotiate lower rate with banks etc.
