Robinhood Raises $2B in Zero-Coupon Notes, Repurchases $290M in Shares in Rare Dual Capital Move
Robinhood secured $2B in zero-coupon convertible notes — paying no periodic interest — while simultaneously buying back $290M in shares, leaving over $1.7B in undeployed cash. The structure, uncommon among global fintechs, signals institutional confidence and positions the US broker for major acquisitions or platform expansion within 12 months. Zero-coupon issuance at this scale outpaces comparable raises by European neobanks and Asian trading platforms in recent years.
