Summary
OnlyFans is reportedly in talks to sell a 60 percent stake to Architect Capital, a San Francisco investment firm. The proposed deal would include $3.5 billion in equity and $2 billion in debt, valuing OnlyFans at $5.5 billion. Currently, Architect Capital and OnlyFans are in exclusive talks, preventing the website's owner from negotiating with other potential buyers. There is no set timeline for the deal, and it is not yet finalized. Last year, OnlyFans' owner Leonid Radvinsky was in negotiations with Forest Road Company for a sale, but that deal did not proceed.
