Manus reportedly reached about $100 million in ARR by the end of 2025 as early Chinese backers plan a $2 billion buyback from Meta through a regulation-compliant reverse acquisition.
Meta Platforms’ earlier acquisition of AI company Manus for about $2 billion may be reversed after Chinese regulators reportedly ordered the deal to be unwound. New details suggest Manus had reached about $100 million in annual recurring revenue by the end of 2025, with a revenue run-rate above $125 million and monthly growth exceeding 20%, according to two people familiar with the matter. Those people said Manus’ early Chinese backers plan to repurchase the company from Meta for $2 billion, as Asian investors favor a China regulation-compliant reverse acquisition. If completed, the move would return control to some original investors while underscoring the company’s rapid growth and the regulatory pressures shaping cross-border AI deals.
