Definitive acquisition agreement; subject to closing · Bending Spoons deal announcement ↗
Overview
Miro was once valued at $17.5 billion in a private financing round. That historic fundraising mark should not be presented as its current transaction value.
On 10 September 2026, Bending Spoons announced a definitive agreement to acquire Miro for $1.355 billion. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, so the deal should be described as agreed, not completed.
The FreeMalta read: Miro illustrates why an IPO watch needs an exit column. An acquisition can end the public-listing story before the bell ever rings.
Catalysts
The announced acquisition offers a potential exit route, subject to completion.
Risks
The transaction has not yet closed and remains subject to conditions and approvals.
FreeMalta Verdict
Move from IPO candidate to exit watch. Do not call the deal closed yet.
