Bluesky, an alternative to Elon Musk’s X, is in talks to raise money at a $700 million valuation in a round led by Bain Capital Ventures, Business Insider reported. The new funding, if completed, would follow a jump in users after Musk successfully campaigned for Donald Trump in last year’s presidential election, turning off some X users.

Three-year-old Bluesky, started as a side project of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey in 2019, launched to the public in early 2024 with 3 million users. It had reached nearly 26 million users by December. In October, it announced it had raised a $15 million Series A from investors including Blockchain Capital. Representatives for Bluesky and Bain didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

News publishers are eager to find platforms that can get their stories in front of readers without fighting opaque algorithmic rules, so this increased engagement may lure more publishers to the platform.

Meta’s text app, Threads, has gained 35 million new signups since Nov. 1, according to company spokesperson Andy Stone.
Meta provided the update to Axiosamid a flurry of news reports about the growth of rival text app Bluesky, which has surged in popularity in the wake of the presidential election and now has more than 20 million users.
Threads, which launched in 2023, had nearly 275 million monthly active users at the end of October, according to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, meaning it is still much bigger than Bluesky. Still, the newer app’s recent growth is something Meta leaders appear to be watching closely. Recently, Meta copied several features for Threads, and rolled out certain improvements, in response to Bluesky’s spike in popularity.

Threads may be losing its advantage over Bluesky as Bluesky capitalizes on the flood of users leaving X following the election. Bluesky has recorded a nearly 300 percent jump in daily users since election day.

😂 Truth Social is not even a Trump sentiment tracking meme anymore.  I predict it'll continue to decline despite Trump returning to the presidency.  His best bet is to do a merger with his 'first-buddy' Elon's X (fka Twitter) and cash out.
