Daniel Ek, Founder and Executive Chairman said: “Today, what we’ve really built is a technology platform for audio – and increasingly, for all the ways creators connect with audiences. And this identity will matter even more going forward. The next wave of technology shifts—AI, new interfaces, wearables, new ways of interacting with content—these will reshape how people discover and experience audio and media. The hard problems ahead—in music, in podcasts, in books, in video, in live, and in things we haven’t built yet—we’re going to keep building the technology to solve them.”
Alex Norström, Co-CEO, said: “We closed out what we dubbed as the Year of Accelerated Execution with another solid quarter, delivering a strong finish to 2025. In Q4, we met or exceeded guidance across all key metrics. We marked our highest quarter ever for MAU net additions. It’s incredible to think that we now serve over three quarters of a billion people around the world… We’re framing 2026 as the Year of Raising Ambition. We were founded to solve what felt like the impossible, and ambition has been the driving force behind our success from our earliest days. And ambition will be a guiding principle of our next chapter.”
Gustav Söderström, Co-CEO said: “We consider ourselves the R&D department for the music industry. Our job is to understand new technologies quickly and capture their potential, which we’ve done time and again. The entire industry stands to benefit from this [AI] paradigm shift but we believe those who embrace this change and move fast will benefit the most.”
