In an industry where IPOs are typically driven by funding gaps, investor pressure, or fast-moving acquisitions, Nexus International is scripting a different story. The company’s plan to go public in March 2027 doesn’t hinge on raising capital; it’s about upgrading infrastructure. 

With $847.9 million in revenue already booked by Q3 2025 and on track for $1 billion by year’s end, Nexus is proving that scale and sustainability can be achieved long before listing.

Nexus International’s revenue benchmarks and IPO plans

Nexus’s Founder and CEO Gurhan Kiziloz has confirmed that the IPO will move forward only once the company hits $5 billion in annual revenue. But that threshold is more than just a number; it’s a filtering mechanism. It signals to markets that Nexus will enter the public sphere from a position of operational maturity and financial strength, not speculation or future projections.

Nexus International’s growth has unfolded without external capital, without venture dilution, and without noise. Its expansion has been fueled by reinvested earnings across three distinct brands, Spartans.com, Megaposta, and Lanistar, each tailored to specific market needs and compliance regimes. The result is a gaming operator already among the Top 100 worldwide, built entirely from within.

For Kiziloz, that independence is strategic. “We’re not listing to raise money. We’re listing because we’ve outgrown the advantages of being private,” he has explained in internal communications. That means the IPO is not an endpoint; it’s an evolution of Nexus’s operating structure to better support its expanding partnerships, global regulatory compliance, and long-term accountability.

Public listing for evolution, not expansion

Going public will not mark the start of Nexus’s global push; it will simply make its infrastructure more transparent, auditable, and partnership-ready. In markets such as Latin America, Southeast Asia, and parts of Europe, being a publicly listed company can fast-track licensing, enable deeper payment integrations, and enhance brand credibility with institutions and regulators.

Rather than change the way Nexus operates, the IPO is expected to formalize it. The company already tracks metrics, growth, and treasury management with the discipline of a listed entity. The transition to public markets will simply add layers of governance without stripping away control. Gurhan Kiziloz will remain at the helm, preserving the founder-led agility that has made Nexus one of the gaming sector’s breakout performers.

Setting the $5B bar serves multiple purposes. First, it creates a timing filter that prevents Nexus from rushing into the public spotlight under pressure. Second, it protects the company’s valuation story; markets will be reacting to performance, not promises. Finally, it places Nexus among the upper tier of gaming companies by the time of listing, ensuring that its IPO is not just viable, but competitive with major names in the space.

Reaching $5 billion also means Nexus will likely enter the public markets with positive cash flow, diversified brand exposure, proven international presence, and a licensing footprint that spans traditional and crypto-friendly jurisdictions.

Few gaming companies today can claim this trajectory: bootstrapped origins, multi-brand global presence, near-billion-dollar earnings, and a path to IPO with the founder still fully in control. In a space dominated by acquisitions, VC backing, and rapid consolidation, Nexus stands out for its execution-first discipline.

Kiziloz has opted for a long-game strategy, prioritizing structure over speed and substance over headlines. It’s a bet that’s already paying off, and if the $5B IPO plan holds, Nexus International will be one of the few operators to go public without ever needing to go external.

The 2027 IPO as a statement of maturity

The planned March 2027 IPO isn’t just a milestone for Nexus, it’s a statement. It signals that scale, credibility, and institutional readiness don’t have to come at the cost of independence. 

With $847.9 million in revenue already earned this year and brand momentum across Spartans.com and Megaposta accelerating, the company isn’t preparing to go public to find its future. It’s doing it because its future has already been built, and the infrastructure just needs to catch up.
