According to Reuters, Circle has confidentially filed for a US IPO. However, the company has not disclosed the number of shares it plans to dilute or the price range of its shares.

“The IPO is expected to take place after the Securities and Exchange Commission completes its review process, subject to market and other conditions,” the company said.
