What an IPO means for Discord
An IPO, or initial public offering, happens when a private company first sells shares of its stock to the general public.
When a company ‘goes public,’ it offers shares to the general public, allowing it to raise money from investors and trade those shares on a stock exchange. This is often done to finance growth, develop new products, or allow early investors and employees to sell their shares for profit.
Discord, launched in 2015, is a popular communication platform offering voice, video, and text chat. It’s especially well-known among gamers and live streamers. As of December 2025, the company announced it had over 200 million people using it each month.
The messaging app keeps adding new features and improvements for its users. One recent addition is a ‘Discord Checkpoint’ – a yearly summary showing how people have used the app.
