Summary

Reddit, Inc. executed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on March 21, 2024, listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol RDDT. The offering was priced at $34 per share, the upper limit of its target range, resulting in an initial valuation of approximately $6.4 billion. This event marked the first significant social media IPO since Pinterest's debut in 2019 and was interpreted by market analysts, including the hosts of the All-In Podcast, as a potential reopening of the IPO window for tech companies in a speculative market. A distinctive feature of the offering was a directed share program that enabled long-term users and moderators to purchase shares at the IPO price. While the company had previously explored a public listing in 2021 with a target valuation of $15 billion, it adjusted its expectations following a downturn in the technology sector. By July 2024, the company's market capitalization had increased to $10 billion.

Reddit

Reddit ( RED-it, formerly stylized in lowercase) is an American proprietary social news aggregation and forum social media platform. Registered users (commonly referred to as "redditors") submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down ("upvoted" or "downvoted") by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subreddits". Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Reddit administrators moderate the communities. Moderation is also conducted by subreddit-specific moderators, who are unpaid volunteers. It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco. As of December 2025, Reddit is the sixth or seventh most-visited website in the world. According to data provided by Similarweb, 51.75% of the website traffic comes from the United States, followed by Canada at 7.01%, the United Kingdom at 6.97%, Australia at 3.97%, Germany at 3%, and the remaining 28.37% split among other countries. Reddit was founded by University of Virginia roommates Steve Huffman and Alexis Ohanian in June 2005, who were joined by Aaron Swartz that November. Condé Nast Publications acquired the site in October 2006. In 2011, Reddit became an independent subsidiary of Condé Nast's parent company, Advance Publications. Reddit debuted on the stock market on the morning of March 21, 2024, with the ticker symbol RDDT. The current market cap as of July 2024 is US$10 billion. Reddit has been noted for its role in political activism, particularly in the United States, with notable left-wing and anti-theist subcultures on the website. It has received praise for many of its features, such as the ability to create several subreddits for niche communities. It has been criticized for the spread of misinformation and its voting system which can encourage online echo chambers.
