Startup acquisitions have surged in 2025, highlighted by Google’s unprecedented $32 billion buyout of cybersecurity startup Wiz—reflecting optimism in Silicon Valley regarding new antitrust policies under the Trump administration. So far this year, 11 acquisitions exceeding $1 billion have been reported, totaling $54.5 billion, surpassing previous quarterly records. Factors contributing to this boom include an anticipated increase in tech IPOs, strong investor cash reserves, and a heightened interest in AI technologies. Despite the activity, over 1,000 tech startups remain in limbo with valuations above $1 billion, facing challenges in finding buyers or going public.
