Molten Ventures PLC on Monday said it had realised a further £63 million of its holding in neobank Revolut Ltd. In total, the London-based backer of digital technology businesses has realised proceeds of about £120 million from its Revolut investment, which represents a multiple of 20 times invested capital, according to Molten. Chief Executive Ben Wilkinson commented: ‘This partial realisation reflects our active approach to portfolio management. We continue to retain meaningful upside while releasing capital to deploy into an exciting pipeline of nearterm investment opportunities. Our disciplined, [net asset value]-accretive approach to capital allocation is focused on generating shareholder returns through both primary and secondary investments, alongside the current share buyback programme.’ Molten estimated the value of its remaining stake in Revolut at £110 million, as of March 31. The date of Revolut’s anticipated debut on the London Main Market is still to be confirmed, though it recently received its UK banking licence. Last month, Molten had noted the digital lender as a key contributor to its gross portfolio value, which was up 11% on-year to approximately £1.52 billion at the end of March. Another key contributor was ICEYE Oy, a satellite company whose joint venture with Rheinmetall AG has a €1.7 billion Germany army contract. Across all Molten’s investments, realisation proceeds since April 2024 are over £300 million. The company will release full-year results on June 9. Molten Ventures shares fell 0.3% to 585.50 pence on Monday morning in London. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
