Private Trading Increases Twitter's Valuation to $7.7 Billion

Private investors have pushed Twitter’s valuation up to $7.7 billion, which is more than twice its valuation just three months ago.

Twitter’s latest round of funding closed mid-December, and the $200 million investment from Kleiner Perkins and others saw Twitter valued at $3.7 billion – which itself was a big jump from a $1 billion valuation just a year prior.

Secondary market trade facilitator Sharespost sent an email to its subscribers last week announcing a private auction of Twitter shares closing at $34.50
