A subsidiary of chipmaking giant Arm has invested a further £50 million into Raspberry Pi.
A secondary share sale saw the Raspberry Pi Foundation divest shares in the listed Cambridge success story, amounting to 5.6% of the firm’s issued share capital, for £60m at a price of 550 pence per share.
It continues to hold 41% of Raspberry Pi’s shares.
Strategic shareholder Arm Technology Investments 2 Limited – an investment vehicle within the Arm Holdings group, also headquartered in Cambridge and owned by SoftBank Group – invested £50m in the placing, which included a retail offer.
Raspberry Pi is behind low-cost miniature computers which were initially used extensively in education before becoming a favourite among hobbyists.
The company, which listed in 2024, is now “graduating from maker culture and hobbyist fan fave to something more mature”.
Shares in Raspberry Pi are currently priced at 587.5p (writing at 8.45am) after dropping 2.5% in early trading today. They have lost 10% of value since Friday after it announced bonuses for three leadership figures at the start of the week.
Its share price remains 96% in the year to date while it revealed a juicy set of 2025 financial results at the end of last month.
Its offer price at IPO was 280p, while it peaked at 766p in early 2025.
The firm currently has a market cap of around £1.14 billion.
