With the transition from the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025, these high-value mergers and acquisitions stood out amidst a relatively quiet period for private equity and venture capital transactions. The billion-dollar deals underscored the ongoing momentum in large-scale corporate consolidations, despite a lull in other investment activities during this timeframe.

In 2023, startup acquisitions surged, highlighted by Google's $32 billion buy of cybersecurity firm Wiz, signaling increased optimism in Silicon Valley. This year saw 11 billion-dollar startup sales, totaling $54.5 billion, surpassing previous records. Factors influencing this rise include changes in antitrust policies, Trump administration's stance, and a growing appetite for AI. The uptick alleviates a multi-year pause in IPOs and large deals, benefiting investors and reigniting M&A activities.
