Short Answer: NO – I doubt it.

Airbnb was in a good position to IPO at the end of last year, but seemed to push it back. Since then the follow has happened:

Coronavirus has all but stopped their business.
Combination of debt & equity from Silver Lake, Sixth Street Partners
Previously raised $4.6 billion
Financial Times reported new $25b valuation last week

Airbnb won’t be seeing the public markets any time soon as they really need to focus when the Coronavirus lockdowns start to exit and the world opens up for business again.

Lynsi Snyder is the current owner and she is a billionaire without the stress of being public. Public companies require a lot more regulation.
