Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Koch, Inc. and affiliated entities filed a Schedule 13D reporting beneficial ownership of 4,389,129 Class A common shares of Ibotta, Inc., equal to about 20.7% of the Public Shares outstanding as of January 31, 2026.

The stake arose from Ibotta’s IPO, when pre-IPO securities held by Koch-affiliated entities were reclassified one-for-one into Public Shares, and from a later reduction in shares outstanding due to Ibotta stock repurchases. The reporting group describes itself as passive investors and notes that, because Ibotta’s CEO and related parties control a substantial majority of voting power through Class B shares carrying 20 votes per share, the Koch group holds less than 10% of the combined voting power. They may buy more or sell some of their position over time.

Schedule 13D regulatory
"This is jointly filed by KDT Ibotta Holdings, LLC ... as a Schedule 13D."
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
beneficially owned financial
"KDT Ibotta is beneficially owned by KDT, KDT is beneficially owned by KDT Holdings..."
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
Public Shares financial
"4,389,129 Public Shares held by KDT Ibotta Holdings, LLC"
initial public offering financial
"were acquired in connection with the Issuer's initial public offering (the "IPO")"
An initial public offering (IPO) is when a private company first sells its shares to the public and becomes a stock-listed company. It matters because it allows the company to raise money from a wide range of investors, helping it grow, while giving early shareholders a way to sell some of their ownership.
Class B common stock financial
"ownership of issued and outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
Rule 13d-1(f) regulatory

FAQ

What ownership stake in Ibotta (IBTA) do Koch-affiliated entities report?

Koch-affiliated entities report beneficial ownership of 4,389,129 Public Shares of Ibotta, representing about 20.7% of the Class A shares outstanding as of January 31, 2026. This percentage is based on 21,212,756 Public Shares disclosed in Ibotta’s Form 10-K.

How did Koch-affiliated entities acquire their Ibotta (IBTA) shares?

They acquired 4,389,129 Public Shares in connection with Ibotta’s initial public offering, when pre-IPO securities they held were automatically reclassified on a one-to-one basis into Class A common stock. The pre-IPO purchases were funded with Koch Industries’ working capital.

Why did Koch-affiliated investors switch from Schedule 13G to Schedule 13D for Ibotta (IBTA)?

They filed Schedule 13D because their beneficial ownership of Public Shares exceeded 20% after Ibotta repurchased stock, reducing shares outstanding. Under Rule 13d-1(f), this higher percentage means they can no longer use the short-form Schedule 13G, regardless of their investment intent.

Do Koch-affiliated holders seek control over Ibotta (IBTA) through this 20.7% stake?

They state the shares were acquired and are held for investment purposes, not to change or influence control. They also note Ibotta’s CEO and affiliates hold a substantial majority of voting power via Class B shares, so Koch-affiliated entities hold under 10% of combined voting power.

Can Koch-affiliated entities change their Ibotta (IBTA) position in the future?

Yes. They state they may acquire additional Ibotta securities through market purchases, private agreements or otherwise, or dispose of some or all holdings. Their investment is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and future actions will depend on their assessment of the company and market conditions.
