10:04 AM EST, 03/06/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Discord has held early conversations with banks about a potential initial public offering, multiple media outlets reported Thursday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

The gaming-focused social platform previously explored going public in 2021 but paused plans due to political and market uncertainties, according to the reports. Discord's last known valuation was reportedly around $15 billion in a 2021 fundraising round.

The company is planning to revive its IPO plan, but the details could still change, reports said.

Discord declined to discuss rumors, saying the company is focused on offering a top-notch user experience and building a strong, sustainable business, media outlets reported, citing a company statement.

Discord did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
