Reddit Plans March IPO Launch
Social Media Giant Aims to Sell 10% of Shares in First Major Social Media IPO Since 2019
- Reddit is planning to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in March, according to multiple sources. This would be the first IPO of a major social media company since Pinterest's debut in 2019.
- The San Francisco-based company, valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, is reportedly seeking to sell about 10% of its shares in the IPO.
- Reddit filed confidentially for its IPO in December 2021, but plans were delayed until the company was closer to returning a profit.
- Reddit primarily generates its revenue through advertising and also offers premium access for $5.99 per month. However, the company has yet to turn a profit.
- Reddit's IPO plans could potentially be pushed back, as has happened in the past.
