A Swedish audio-streaming service that lets people listen to music, podcasts, and audiobooks on demand, offering both a free ad-supported tier and a paid Premium subscription. Founded in 2006 in Stockholm by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon, it launched in 2008 as a legal alternative to the music piracy of the Napster era. The name came from a happy accident: the founders shouted name ideas between rooms, and Ek misheard one suggestion as "Spotify," liked the sound, and grabbed the domain.
Select a row to see that insider’s individual transactions. † Sum of the holdings confirmed in the 12 months before this insider's last filing. A Form 4 reports a holding per line — held directly, or through a named trust, partnership or foundation, and in each share class separately — never a person’s total. Lines not restated in that time are left out and shown apart: an active filer restates what they still hold, so a line they did not restate is more often an entity since renamed, whose shares a successor line reports too. An amber marker means some were left out.
Net open-market activity over the last 6 months: -122.3K shares. Grants, option exercises and tax withholding are excluded — they are compensation mechanics, not decisions to buy or sell.
