FundedFirm
In a bold move that defies industry norms, FundedFirm has revealed it turned down a $30 million acquisition offer in Q1 2025, reaffirming its commitment to long-term growth and trader-first values.
The offer included a full $30M valuation, a 51% equity handover, and a proposal to merge with a major global fintech firm. It was unanimously declined by the leadership team after internal discussions.
"Every number they've hit so far, the trader count, the payouts, the press, it's all phase one," said the Founder. "FundedFirm wasn't built to exit. It was built to endure."
Why They Declined the Deal
The decision was driven by strategic priorities:
⢠Retaining full control over the product roadmap
⢠Preserving a transparent, trader-first culture
⢠Avoiding bureaucratic slowdowns and maintaining innovation speed
⢠Staying true to the vision of building a global trading ecosystem
"They're not just building a prop firm," the founder added. "They're building something that earns trust, not tricks people."
What's Next for FundedFirm
Following the rejected offer, the company accelerated its expansion:
⢠Launched an instant payout engine
⢠Built an in-house trader analytics suite
⢠Expanded to four continents
⢠Crossed 200K+ funded traders
⢠Introduced FundedFirm Academy
Future plans include institutional integrations, trader loyalty tokens, API partnerships, and a $1M per month payout milestone.
"They said no to $30M not because they're greedy, but because they're grounded," the Founder said. "The mission continues, and their best work is still ahead."
FundedFirm continues to lead with clarity, conviction, and a vision to become the most trusted name in performance-based trading globally.
