Some people love OnlyFans. Other people love to hate it.

But regardless of your personal stance on the popular content-creation and sharing platform, you can’t deny that OnlyFans gets a lot of attention. And in the stock market, that can translate to volatility — and potentially massive stock spikes.

That fact alone might have you curious about how to buy OnlyFans stock. But if you try to find the OnlyFans stock symbol, you won’t find anything — the company’s still private.

However, there may still be ways to gain exposure to the controversial company’s explosive growth. In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about how to buy OnlyFans stock and more…

OnlyFans: The Basics

In 2016, OnlyFans was founded by Tim Stokely, who talked his dad into giving him a 10,000-pound loan to fund the company.

The platform was designed for performers — in return for a monthly subscription fee, they’d give followers insider access to videos, photos, and more.

A few years down the line, Leonid Radvinsky, CEO of MyFreeCams, became the largest shareholder in the company — and in short order, OnlyFans became best-known as an NSFW (“not safe for work”) content platform.

That’s also when the platform started to EXPLODE. Here’s what you need to know:

• In 2020, OnlyFans revenue is said to have been $380 million; in 2021, it was reportedly $1.2 billion.
• After OnlyFans got a shout-out from Beyoncé in a Megan Thee Stallion song remix, the site reportly had a 15% spike in volume.
• Around the same time, founder Tim Stokely claimed that the site saw about 200K new users and 7-8,000 creators joining the platform daily.  
• The site is said to pay more than $200 million per month to creators.
• Unlike many tech companies, OnlyFans is actually profitable.
• Estimates state that as of 2022, the company had about 1,000 employees.

Now that you know the deets, let’s talk about how to buy OnlyFans stock.

Can You Buy OnlyFans Stock? Is OnlyFans Publicly Traded?

Nope. OnlyFans is a private company, so you won’t find an OnlyFans stock price chart or OnlyFans stock symbol on any of your favorite trading platforms.

That won’t change until the company goes public. There has been talk of going public through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC), but it hasn’t happened.

Meantime, there are other options for retail investors. Let’s take a look…

How to Buy OnlyFans as a Retail Investor

I can’t tell you how to buy OnlyFans stock, because it’s not on the market.

However, if you’re interested in OnlyFans, there are some other directions to investigate until the company goes public. But first…

Who Owns OnlyFans?

OnlyFans is operated by a parent company, Fenix International Limited, which is primarily owned by Leonidas Radvinsky. Perhaps owing to the controversial nature of the company’s content, the company has struggled to attract major investors.

Does Playboy Own OnlyFans?

Nah. Playboy (NASDAQ: PLBY) may be famous for its NSFW content, but it does not own or have a stake in OnlyFans.

How to Invest in OnlyFans Stock as a Retail Investor

If you can’t buy OnlyFans stock, what can you do? Here are some other directions to consider:

Sinful Stocks

While you can’t purchase OnlyFans stock, you can buy “sinful stocks,” or stocks related to various vices. Here are just a few:

• Anheuser-Busch (NYSE: BUD) — see the chart below to see how BUD’s been doing the past few months…
• RCI Hospitality Holdings (NASDAQ: RICK) — a company that owns and operates adult nightclubs
• Playboy (NASDAQ: PLBY)
• Philip Morris International (NYSE: PM)

Content Creation

Another avenue? Consider other content creation platforms, such as:

• YouTube, owned by Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL)
• Snapchat (NYSE: SNAP)

How to Buy the OnlyFans IPO

While OnlyFans has explored going public via SPAC, nothing has come of it at writing. However, it never hurts to be prepared.

Here are the steps on how to buy OnlyFans stock if and when it becomes available:

1. Create or login to your brokerage account (if you don’t have one, we recommend eToro)
2. Search for OnlyFans
3. Select how many shares you want to buy
4. Place your order
5. Monitor your trade

OnlyFans Stock Price Chart

Since there’s no OnlyFans stock out there to buy, you won’t find an OnlyFans stock price chart to reference. But there are other ways to gauge the company’s growth.

For instance, the below chart details OnlyFans’ growth compared to competitors…

And this chart shows the company’s impressive revenue growth in recent years…

OnlyFans may be having trouble attracting investors, but it certainly isn’t struggling to attract users. The company’s growth is well worth watching until the company makes its IPO.
