Visa stock (ISIN US92826C8394) was trading at EUR 365.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 26, 2026, at 12:13 p.m. CET. Axios reported on October 22, 2026, that Visa was in late-stage talks to acquire Fireblocks for a reported USD 2.50 billion.

Fireblocks disputes the reported deal

The report met a direct response from Fireblocks on the same date. According to CoinDesk, a Fireblocks spokesperson said the acquisition claim was not true at that time, while Visa declined to comment on the report.

The reported transaction would have connected Visa with a company focused on digital-asset custody and stablecoin infrastructure. The conflicting accounts leave the reported USD 2.50 billion figure as the central market detail, rather than a completed transaction.

What does the report mean for payments?

Visa has continued to build payment products around automation and digital assets. On October 21, 2026, the company announced commercial fraud tools and a live pilot with BILL and Billtrust that enables trusted AI agents to initiate and complete approved business invoice payments, according to Yahoo Finance.

The latest reported operating figures provide a separate benchmark. For fiscal third-quarter 2026, Visa reported USD 11.63 billion in revenue and USD 3.32 in earnings per share, compared with USD 11.40 billion and USD 3.23 expected by analysts; revenue increased 14.40 percent from the prior year, according to MarketBeat.

Three events shape the timeline

On July 28, 2026, Visa reported fiscal third-quarter revenue of USD 11.63 billion. On October 21, 2026, it launched the BILL and Billtrust agentic-payment pilot. On October 22, 2026, Axios reported the Fireblocks talks at USD 2.50 billion, followed by Fireblocks' denial the same day.

Next date for Visa investors

Visa is scheduled to publish fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 results on October 27, 2026, after the market close, with management's webcast scheduled for 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, according to Visa.

Visa stock stays tied to execution

The Fireblocks report adds a strategic question to the earnings calendar, while the commercial-payment pilot shows an announced route for expanding Visa's business-payment capabilities. The next financial release will provide the clearest dated test of the company's recent operating performance. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Visa stock.
