Stripe internal valuation is around $65B. I think its unlikely Amazon is going to spend that much to acquire Stripe.

$65B for payment processing is a lot. $65B to be magically inserted into the checkout flow of like every small to medium independent online retailer out there (exaggeration, I know) starts to look like a much better deal.
