BlockBeats News, June 18th. Manus, as a startup focusing on agentic AI, quickly achieved commercialization after its launch. By the end of 2025, the company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) had reached approximately $100 million, with a total revenue run rate exceeding $125 million. Its month-over-month growth rate exceeded 20%, earning it the title of the "fastest startup to reach $100 million ARR."

Against this backdrop, Manus's early investors and Asian investors have different views. Asian investors are more inclined towards a "reverse merger" with Meta that complies with Chinese regulatory requirements, while a buyback financing is now attracting new interest due to Manus's revenue potential (which could reach close to $1 billion in 2026), making it still attractive. According to two sources familiar with the matter, Manus's early Chinese supporters are planning to buy back the company from Meta at a price of $2 billion paid by Meta.
