TechFlow news — On December 27, according to Reclaim The Net, Rumble previously reached a $775 million investment agreement with Tether, marking a significant attempt to break traditional media and financial control. Of this investment, $250 million will be allocated toward growth initiatives, including attracting more content creators, strategic acquisitions, and enhancing the Rumble Cloud technology infrastructure.
In an interview with Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports, Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski revealed that the funding will drive Rumble's global expansion, attract new creators, and redefine what it means to be a free speech platform. Pavlovski also discussed the impact of Trump’s election on Rumble’s mission, stating that the collaboration with Tether will help expand Rumble’s reach globally, especially in regions where freedom of expression is suppressed. Integrating cryptocurrency will transform how creators monetize content by offering crypto-based tipping and payment options, further reducing reliance on centralized systems.
Since its founding in 2013, Rumble has become a haven for those opposing excessive moderation by traditional social media platforms. During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Rumble set a record with 1.79 million concurrent viewers, becoming a central hub for political discourse.
