American fintech company Stripe has revealed its purchase of the AI firm OpenRouter, a business that assists companies in managing and streamlining their token consumption. Reports indicate the transaction is worth $7.5 billion, which is more than five times the $1.3 billion valuation OpenRouter reached during its funding cycle in May 2026.
