Jan 6 (Reuters) – Chat platform Discord confidentially filed for ‍an initial public offering in the United States, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, ‌citing people ‌familiar with the matter.

The U.S. IPO market regained momentum in 2025 after ​nearly three years of sluggish ‍activity, but ​hopes for a ​stronger rebound were ‍tempered by tariff-driven volatility, a prolonged government shutdown and a late-year selloff ‍in artificial intelligence stocks.

Discord, which was founded in ‍2015, ‍offers voice, video ​and text ​chatting ⁠capabilities aimed at ‌gamers and streamers.
