Polymarket was valued at $15 billion before this round. The new raise pushes that figure to $21 billion. Trump Jr's firm is leading the round, though the size of its own commitment wasn't disclosed. The $1 billion figure is the headline number, and it's a substantial sum for a platform that operates in the prediction market space.
1789 Capital's growing stake
1789 Capital is investing about $300 million in this round. That adds to the roughly $200 million the firm already held in Polymarket, putting its total position at around $500 million. The firm's decision to add to its existing stake suggests confidence in the platform's trajectory, though the facts don't specify what percentage of the company 1789 Capital would own after the round closes.
