Twitter Files for #SecretIPO

The Takeaway

On Thursday, Twitter announced that it has filed paperwork for an initial public offering. The platform, known for its short bursts of information in 140 characters, posted this tweet yesterday afternoon:

We’ve confidentially submitted an S-1 to the SEC for a planned IPO. This Tweet does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
