Our Story Rumble was founded in 2013, when the concept of ‘preferencing’ on the internet was simple – it was big vs. small. At that time, it was clear that the incumbent social video platforms were beginning to preference large creators, influencers, and brands, while leaving the small creator behind and thus, creating a market opportunity. The Company was founded based on the premise of providing small creators with the tools and distribution that they needed to succeed. Fast forward to 2020, when a new, and much more nuanced form of ‘preferencing’ was evolving online, including sophisticated algorithms used by the incumbents for amplification and censorship. In contrast, Rumble never moved the goal posts on its content policies. This consistency and transparency, along with tailwinds from the 2020 U.S. election season, led to dramatic growth in Rumble’s user base from 1.2 million monthly active users (“MAUs”) in Q2 2020 to 21 million MAUs in Q4 2020. Subsequently, the preferencing and censorship enforced by the incumbent platforms continued to expand into many other content areas, including the crypto-finance community and pop culture. As a result, more creators and their audiences found a new home on Rumble. These top creators, such as Dan Bongino, Russell Brand, Kim Iversen, Dave Rubin, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Matt Kohrs, Barstool Sports, and Dana White, just to name a few. As a result, Rumble’s user base has grown to 52 million MAUs (GA4) as of Q4 2025. We have also begun the initial phases of monetizing our user base, with our Average Revenue Per User (“ARPU”) reaching $0.46 as of Q4 2025. (For further discussion of our key performance indicators, including definitions and explanations of the ways that management uses these metrics in managing the performance of the business, please refer to the section titled “Key Business Metrics” under “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”) During this period of accelerated growth, Rumble announced a business combination with CF VI, a special purpose acquisition company, on December 1, 2021. The CF Business Combination was successfully completed on September 16, 2022, and our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock,” and shares of such stock, “Class A Common Shares”) began trading on The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol RUM. The CF Business Combination and related PIPE investment provided Rumble with gross proceeds of approximately $400 million, before transaction expenses. This capital infusion has helped Rumble compete with its big tech and other incumbent competitors. Ultimately, 99.9% of CF VI shareholders elected not to redeem their shares, which we believe was a strong expression of support for Rumble’s mission, its growth story and its future potential.…
