0% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Having pioneered the use 'cashtags' for organizing stock information on Twitter, StockTwits has evolved significantly over the years, emerging as the paramount online community platform for retail investors.
The surge in meme-stock frenzy has played a pivotal role in propelling the platform's growth to encompass over 6M users. By concentrating its efforts on discussions revolving around individual securities, StockTwits believes it possesses a competitive advantage to outshine more generalized counterparts such as Discord, Reddit, and Twitter.
Beyond its current scope, StockTwits presently facilitates conversations related to cryptocurrency and has intentions to broaden its presence in the realms of NFTs, collectables, and international markets. Nevertheless, just as Twitter adopted the concept of cashtags, StockTwits remains concerned that competing platforms like Reddit might introduce features more finely attuned to the demands of the investor community.
