How much is Discord worth?

Discord is valued at around $15 billion.

The jump occurred after September 2021 funding. Before the funding, Discord was valued at $7.3 billion.

(Bloomberg, CNBC)

Despite that, Discord isn’t very profitable since it gets the most money from premium subscriptions yet offers a lot to their non-paying Discord members, making premium subscriptions not as tempting.

Discord funding

Throughout 16 rounds, Discord secured $995 million in funding.

Money secured by Discord per each year
