The New York, NY-based company now plans to raise $880 million by offering 32 million shares (60% secondary) at a price range of $27 to $28. The company had previously filed to offer 24 million shares (60% secondary) at a range of $24 to $26. A new investor has indicated on $150 million worth of shares in the offering (17% of the deal).

The USDC "digital dollar" issued by Circle is a leading payment stablecoin, with $60.1 billion in circulation across 4.9 million meaningful wallets, as of March 31, 2025.

Through its partners and the broader ecosystem that supports and integrates into the Circle stablecoin network, the company touches more than 600 million users around the world as of March 31, 2025.
