Discord, the popular chat application with over 200 million monthly active users, is reportedly in preliminary discussions regarding a potential IPO, although plans remain undecided and exploratory. A company spokesperson confirmed there is interest in its future plans but declined to elaborate on rumors. In 2021, Discord opted against a $10 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft in favor of independence, and it has been valued at $14.7 billion during a fundraising round that same year. The platform caters to diverse communities, particularly in gaming, crypto, and now AI.
