Discord confidentially filed for an IPO, according to sources cited by Bloomberg. The report pegs the filing as a confidential submission rather than a public launch, keeping the offering’s size, timing, and pricing out of view in the currently available reporting.
On advisors, Discord has been working with Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase, with those bank talks described as active as of March, according to the report.
The San Francisco-based chat app company grew a platform popular with gamers and programmers, and it has more than 200 million monthly users, according to a statement dated December.

The company has remained privately held, including a $500 million funding round in September 2021 led by Dragoneer Investment Group that valued Discord at about $15 billion, and it has previously drawn large-scale strategic interest, including acquisition talks with Microsoft in 2021 reported at more than $10 billion that ultimately did not proceed.
In leadership, Discord appointed Humam Sakhnini as CEO effective April 28, 2025, while co-founder Jason Citron transitioned from CEO to advisor and remained on the board, with co-founder Stanislav Vishnevskiy continuing as CTO.
