Private investment firm Thrive Holdings, backed by Josh Kushner, has agreed to acquire home security company ADT in a $15.3 billion transaction. The deal represents one of the largest acquisitions in the security industry. Thrive Holdings, which has strong backing from technology investors, expects ADT to serve as the foundation for its expanding home security business.
The acquisition comes as demand for integrated security solutions continues to grow amid increasing smart home adoption. ADT's extensive customer base and nationwide presence will provide Thrive with significant scale in the residential security market. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close later this year.
Financial terms of the deal have not been fully disclosed, though sources indicate Thrive will take on substantial debt financing to fund the acquisition.
