Key Moments:
- Nexus International is targeting a $5 billion verified revenue milestone as a prerequisite for its planned IPO in March 2027.
- The company posted $546 million in first-half revenue for mid-2025 and $301.9 million in Q3, with year-to-date results nearing $850 million.
- Nexus has grown through internal reinvestment and compliance-driven expansion, with no external investors, venture capital, or debt since inception.
IPO Strategy Anchored in Proven Results
While many firms in the gaming and fintech arenas rush toward public listings with aggressive speculation, Nexus International takes a markedly different approach.
Led by Gurhan Kiziloz, the company set a clear benchmark: it will proceed with a public offering only after securing $5 billion in audited revenue.
Moreover, this figure is more than symbolic for Nexus. Since its founding, the group has relied entirely on internal funding, keeping itself independent from outside capital and debt markets. Consequently, Kiziloz describes the upcoming IPO as “a transition from founder-led to founder-listed,” emphasizing transparency, continued control, and lasting profitability under a public structure.
Performance-Driven Financials
By mid-2025, Nexus had achieved $546 million in revenue for the first half of the year with an additional $301.9 million in the third quarter, putting the company’s year-to-date total around $850 million. Full-year projections exceed $1 billion. Nexus drives its growth through disciplined internal reinvestment and steady scaling of established business lines, avoiding outside fundraising or acquisition-driven expansion.
Nexus’s philosophy sharply contrasts with peers who pursue market listings prematurely to capture inflated valuations. Instead, Kiziloz’s leadership emphasizes confirmed profitability as the precondition for any capital market foray. The company builds its strategy on regulatory compliance and comprehensive licensing, which help it navigate legislative and investor changes.
Deliberate Public Listing Approach
Nexus plans to launch its IPO in March 2027 with strict discipline. Kiziloz guides ongoing talks with major stock exchanges, insisting on choosing venues that prioritize governance and integrity over prestige or perception.
Nexus presents its market entry as an evolution of accountability and transparency, not merely a way to unlock liquidity or capital.
Unified and Traceable Operations
All Nexus verticals, including Spartans.com – its primary casino operation funded with $200 million internally – and Brazil-based Megaposta, are operated under a strict principle: validation before expansion. This ensures every dollar is directly linked to performance rather than leverage. This framework underpins the credibility of Nexus’s $5 billion revenue ambition.
| Period | Revenue |
|---|---|
| First Half, 2025 | $546 million |
| Q3, 2025 | $301.9 million |
| Year-to-Date, 2025 (approx.) | $850 million |
| Full-Year Projection, 2025 | Over $1 billion |
Redefining Investor Readiness in Gaming
Should Nexus achieve its target, it will offer the financial markets a rare example: a gaming and fintech company whose IPO is substantiated by factual, diversified, and audited performance, not speculative projections. Investors can expect a structure where value is derived from proven success and regulatory strength, not anticipation.
Gurhan Kiziloz has shaped Nexus by focusing on building sustainable systems and prioritizing enduring credibility. The company’s $5 billion threshold is intended as both a rigorous internal test and a message to the market: capital will be sought only after delivery is achieved.
Heading into March 2027, Nexus is positioned to demonstrate that deliberate growth and governance can redefine standards in the gaming sector. The company’s model stands as a rebuttal to the assumption that speed and external financing are prerequisites for scale. When Nexus eventually lists, it intends to set a new benchmark for financial maturity in the industry.
