Amazon has around USD 58 billion in cash and short term investments according to their last quarterly report. Stripe's last "valuation" in 2021 was at USD 96 billion so today, based on the market cap behavior of similar companies like Square or PayPal, that number should be at USD 30-40 billion today.

It would be a large acquisition but not unheard of.

Would it really benefit Amazon though? If Stripe are already putting hundreds of millions through AWS, they'd essentially be losing a large customer by buying them.
