据报道,预测市场平台 Kalshi 正与红杉资本和惠灵顿管理洽谈新一轮融资,规模至少 7.5 亿美元,估值可能达到 400 亿美元。这意味着,该公司在 5 月完成上一轮融资后,估值或在数月内进一步上升。

估值较5月一轮明显抬升

The Information 援引知情人士称,这轮融资仍在推进中,最终募资额可能高于 7.5 亿美元。若交易达成,红杉将继续加码持股,惠灵顿则可能首次投资 Kalshi。

Kalshi 在今年 5 月曾以 220 亿美元估值融资 10 亿美元。按最新谈判口径计算,其估值较上一轮接近翻倍。

  • 本轮融资规模:至少 7.5 亿美元
  • 讨论中的估值:约 400 亿美元
  • 上一轮融资时间:2026 年 5 月

收入增长主要来自体育合约

报道显示,Kalshi 当前年化收入约为 40 亿美元,主要由体育相关合约带动。2026 年世界杯相关押注,被认为是近期收入增长的重要来源之一。

按披露口径,体育合约贡献了 Kalshi 超过 80% 的交易量。红杉近期还表示,Kalshi 目前占美国预测市场收入的 95%。

与之相比,Polymarket 同期收入规模约为 11 亿美元。报道提到,Polymarket 此前也在寻求融资,目标估值曾报至 200 亿美元。

公司正为后续上市做准备

对于惠灵顿而言,这笔交易若落地,将是其首次投资 Kalshi。惠灵顿长期参与临近上市阶段的私募投资,这也让市场关注 Kalshi 后续的资本运作安排。

Kalshi 首席执行官 Tarek Mansour 此前在 6 月表示,公司正考虑在 2027 年启动 IPO。另据 Kalshi 周三披露,曾帮助公司在 2020 年取得美国商品期货交易委员会监管牌照的律师 Jeff Bandman,已回归并出任 Kalshi Prime 首席执行官,负责面向保证金永续期货业务客户的部门。

截至报道发布时,红杉、惠灵顿和 Kalshi 均未立即回应置评请求。
