We prove that the Hopf structure on generalized permutahedra descends, modulo the inclusion-exclusion relations, to an indicator Hopf monoid of generalized permutahedra that is isomorphic to the Hopf monoid of weighted ordered set partitions. This Hopf theoretic construction offers a simple, unified explanation for many of the known valuations on generalized permutahedra; these include the Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson cycle, the volume polynomial, and the Derksen-Fink invariant of a matroid, the order polynomial, poset Tutte polynomial, and Poincare polynomial of a poset, and the universal Tutte character of generalized permutahedra. We obtain several combinatorial corollaries; for example, a proof that a nestohedron cannot be subdivided into smaller nestohedra.
