The acquisition's fate will be decided by February 25th. Figma remains valued at $8.3B to $9B with a $1B termination fee. Adobe is now reconsidering its design collaboration strategy. ## Content Adobe's ambitious plan to acquire design collaboration platform Figma for $20 billion has hit a roadblock. Despite refusing to compromise, Adobe's bid is being scrutinized by the UK's competition authority, which has recommended divesting overlapping operations. However, Adobe argues that such measures are disproportionate. A final decision on the merger's fate will be made by February 25th. Meanwhile, Figma remains valued at $8.3 billion to $9 billion, with a $1 billion termination fee. The failed acquisition has forced Adobe to reconsider its design collaboration strategy, leaving a significant gap to fill. The abandoned deal was prompted by concerns about competition, harm to innovation, and regulatory challenges. While some worry about the impact on startup exits, data suggests that this situation is not reflective of the overall startup exit market. ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@wiktoria** · 3 upvotes > I am happy to hear that it won't be bought by Adobe anymore. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#adobe](https://daily.dev/tags/adobe), [#figma](https://daily.dev/tags/figma) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/adobe-s-20-billion-bid-for-figma-refusing-to-compromise-despite-regulatory-concerns-t4neqmpbz) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Adobe's $20 Billion Bid for Figma: Refusing to Compromise Despite Regulatory Concerns","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/adobe-s-20-billion-bid-for-figma-refusing-to-compromise-despite-regulatory-concerns-t4neqmpbz","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/adobe-s-20-billion-bid-for-figma-refusing-to-compromise-despite-regulatory-concerns-t4neqmpbz"},"datePublished":"2023-12-18T13:02:09.046Z","dateModified":"2023-12-21T20:04:33.717Z","description":"Adobe's $20B bid for Figma falls through amid regulatory concerns.
