The future of Discord has been up in the air for some time now; back in 2021, a number of companies, including Microsoft, were apparently looking to buy the communication app. Later that same year, Discord was seemingly targeting a $15 billion valuation in another fundraising round. 

In 2022, there were rumblings that Discord was looking to go public, but the company was seemingly going to achieve this via a direct listing rather than an initial public offering. Last year, CEO Jason Citron said that his company would "probably go public" at some point.
