Discord IPO March 2026: The $14.7 Billion Gaming Giant Eyes Wall Street
Discord has filed confidential paperwork for an IPO targeted for March 2026. With a $14.7B valuation and 200M users, can it lead the 2026 tech IPO recovery?
They said no to a $10 billion acquisition offer from Microsoft to stay independent. Now, Discord is finally ready to let the public in. Sources told Bloomberg that the popular chat platform has filed confidential IPO paperwork with the SEC, aiming for a debut in March 2026.
Details on the Discord IPO March 2026 Timeline
Discord has secured heavyweights Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase as its lead underwriters. If the current market rally holds, investors could get a first look at the company’s internal finances as early as next month. This offering will be the ultimate test for its $14.7 billion valuation established during a 2021 funding round.
Overcoming Macro Hurdles and Federal Chaos
This isn't Discord's first dance with the idea of going public. The company reportedly considered an IPO in early 2025, but those plans were shelved following federal instability, including budget cuts inspired by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and a year-end shutdown. Now, with over 200 million monthly active users, Discord is positioning itself as a central pillar of digital social infrastructure, moving well beyond its gaming roots.
